Dear NCTTP Applicant,
Thank you for your interest in joining the National Consortium of Torture Treatment Programs (NCTTP). Having grown from an informal network to a formal 501(c)3, the NCTTP is an effective network providing collegiality, a sharing of best practices, dissemination of topical information, and a platform for national advocacy on issues impacting torture survivors. Each year, NCTTP holds an annual meeting in Washington, DC providing members the opportunity to address issues such as public education and advocacy, program evaluation and outcome measures, and discussion of shared concerns.
The Membership Committee, currently chaired by Celia VanDeGraaf of Center for Survivors of Torture in Austin, Texas, is forwarding the Application Procedure for New Members, Membership Policies and Membership Application Form to you, including the criteria governing the various levels of membership in the NCTTP.
Once your application is received, the NCTTP Membership Committee will review it, and share it with the NCTTP Executive Committee. If all criteria are met, the application is presented to the Consortium membership for a vote, either electronically or in-person at the Consortium’s Annual Meeting or before.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely,
