Dear Member of the Recovery Workforce Community,
There has been a flurry of inaccurate, incomplete and potentially inflammatory information circulating over the past few days about the status of our association, foundation and our highly valued practitioner credentials. As chair of the PRA board of directors, I want to be transparent in the efforts we have made to ensure our organization remains both relevant and sustainable.
