The vice president of EFTA and president of CIM, both roles held by the same person, would like to offer you their best wishes for 2026 and a few words to mark the start of this new term of office.
At CIM, continuity has prevailed!
It is with a spirit of openness to new ideas and the intersection of sciences that the CIM board and I are continuing the missions of CIM and EFTA in general. With Maurizio Frisina (Belgium) as treasurer, Federico Ferrari (Italy) as secretary, Iva Ursini (Italy), Marie-Jeanne Schon (Luxembourg), and Myriam Cassen (France), who succeeds Viola Sallay (Hungary) as vice president, we continue to pool our skills, linked by the wonderful and rich experience we shared during the previous term.
What’s new?
As vice-president of EFTA, I hope that my contribution will add value to the demanding role of president of our ambitious association, which is being continued by Umberta Telfener.
As president of CIM, I continue to open up as widely as possible to systemic thinking—our world needs it—which is why CIM welcomes applications from those who, although trained, do not practice as family therapists but as systemic practitioners, as the fields of application are very broad.
The launch of our new website is ongoing, and we are currently planning the new CIM congress for 2027. Its theme and outline have already been defined, as well as its possible location. But that’s still a surprise!
We look forward to seeing you all soon!
Martine NISSE
