The New Jersey Council of Collaborative Practice Groups had its annual dinner at Maggianos Resaurant in Bridgewater, New Jersey on Wednesday, March 18, 2015 and its guest speaker was Ross Evans, a former president of the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals, (the “I.A.C.P.”).  The topic was “Public Education: Building Awareness in your Professional Communities.”  Joseph C. Noto, a Bergen County collaborative divorce lawyer attended the same, along with several other members of the Collaborative Divorce Association of North Jersey (CDANJ), and he said the turn out was great with over 83 collaboratively trained  professionals attending, which consisted of collaboratively trained lawyers, and mental health and financial professionals. Ross Evans spoke about how the eight Collaborative Practice Groups in New Jersey can inform other professionals, such as the clergy, and have them help bring public awareness of the collaborative professionals and what they do and who they are since the passing of the New Jersey Family Collaborative Law Act.
