What a great year we have ahead of us! I did not expect
to be writing another President’s message, but was
elected to that position, along with many new Board members
at the June 12 th AGM. I am excited about EDEO’s growth
last year and our future accomplishments and goals.
Thanks to the hard work and dedication of the 2003/04 Board,
we have many new projects on the go (Psychoeducation groups,
Eating Disorder video) and with new funding for them in
place, we look forward to these new challenges. If you have
an interest in these areas and would like to volunteer some
time please contact the EDEO office. If you know someone
who could benefit from the information available through
the psychoeducation groups (patients waiting for treatment
or their parents or partners) – also call the EDEO
office. We are most appreciative of the stellar EDEO staff–
Kendle, Darlene, and Jennifer. Their expertise makes EDEO
run smoothly.
There are a couple of significant changes this year, one
of which is our annual conference. Instead of hosting the
conference in the spring, we are having it in October, and
that has proven to be quite advantageous. Details of this
years’ conference are posted on the website, so please
have a look, and plan to join us – you will find our
keynote and featured speakers very interesting and knowledgeable
in their field. As in previous years, the timetable is rounded
out with local experts and some fitness and entertainment
options…please check on what promises to be an enlightening
and fun experience!
Hope to see many of you there…
Carol Kostynuk,
President and Medical Director
EDEO
