Hello 2022! We are beginning a new year and a fresh perspective. We are a community of professionals, focused on bringing a better way to get our clients to their new normal. I believe your CDT membership helps make this possible, honoring the future of children, legacy and relationships. I was blessed to have a mentor in my friend John Anderson, who taught me an impactful concept. That concept is that we are walking on hallowed ground. I took this to mean that when a couple makes a decision … [Read more...]

Another is our Spring Conference each year. This is a special time to hear from many Collaborative … [Read more...]

MLK, Jr. said, “the time is always right to do the right thing.” This is a principle at the very core of why CDT exists and why I’m involved in this process – to add value to our professional platforms and to efficiently make progress every time we connect with those we serve.
