SANTA ROSA MEETING 22-24 OCTOBER 2010

Since Gary Craig retired, there has been no formal process in place in America for EFT training, assessment and certification.  As Chairperson of the AAMET,  I was fortunate enough to be invited by a team of EFT Masters and other enthusiasts to discuss various options at a meeting in Santa Rosa.

The Santa Rosa group looked at what the AAMET could offer EFT Practitioners and Trainers in America and compared this with other training organisations.  After several discussions and harmonisation proposals, there was a unanimous agreement at that meeting that the AAMET had the professionalism, integrity and democratic processes in place to be a worthy EFT Association and Training Provider for EFT in America. 

It was recognised and appreciated that the AAMET is now on a legal body with codes of conduct, a complaints procedure, ethics, and training guidelines in place.  As they quoted.....

"........This decision was easily arrived at after we had studied what AAMET has to offer –– a stable, existing, and respected democratic organization with quality guidelines for EFT training. We all agreed that training guidelines and EFT certification should reside within a democratic group in which ALL members have the opportunity for feedback.  

We acknowledged that joining AAMET as individuals would support quality training and certifications and also answer our concerns about putting the certification power into the hands of any one person within the EFT community no matter how huge their list may be....."

This is good news indeed for the AAMET as we  become accepted and recognised even further across the globe as the lead EFT Training Provider.  We look forward to our American Practitioners and Trainers joining our growing community.

There were some minor modifications to the training syllabuses which will be put to the Training Team and the AEC for agreement and sufficient notice will be given to Trainers to allow for any phasing in of any necessary amendments. The AAMET have also introduced a new "grandfathering procedure" to assist those who do not possess the required qualifications to join the AAMET to be able to do so.

Gary Craig's announcement:   We would also like to bring to your attention an announcement that Gary Craig made prior to the meeting to avoid any further confusion in relation to Gary's association with EFT Universe and that you respect his wishes.  Please also note that the AAMET does not endorse and is not associated in any way with EFT Universe or it's training programmes.

EM dated 18 October and sent by Gary Craig to myself and other attendees at Santa Rosa......

 “.................I have retired from EFT and do not wish to be involved. Along these lines, some people have mistakenly assumed that I am endorsing the EFTuniverse.com website, its certification program, etc.  This is not so.  I am not endorsing anyone’s website or EFT efforts.  I merely allowed EFTUniverse.com to house many of the articles and relative content from the emofree.com website. This was because of substantial public demand and for no other reason.  I did it as a service to the EFT community and Dawson Church agreed to undertake the substantial financial and logistical burden involved.  However, the success or failure of that website and its various programs belong to Dawson and I claim no credit or involvement regarding its future. 

Again, I have retired.  I have freely given EFT to the world and am no longer involved.  Please respect that and kindly leave my name out of any EFT issues … pro or con.  Anyone using my name as any kind of endorsement or support for their position, product, etc. is doing so erroneously and without my permission.” 

With Gratitude for your Understanding, Gary
