Today, John Bennett, GCASA's Director of Treatment, announced some important staff changes in the Batavia Clinic. Here is John's announcment:

I pleased to announce that Sarah Edwards has accepted the position of gambling specialist. Sarah has been working in the women's program with Norma Miller for the past two years and also developed the nicotine services in Genesee County. She just recently sat for her CASAC in June 2008 and is enrolled in the counselor education master program at Brockport for the fall semester. Sarah has strong program development skills and I am sure she will do a great job developing GCASA's gambling addictions services. Please congratulate her when you see her.

I am also pleased to announce that Charlene Grimm has accepted the position of clinic counselor vacated by Sarah Edwards. Charlene has been working as the substance abuse specialist in the collocation demonstration project. She has been working in Livingston county and has been a key player in the implementation of the this program. Previously Charlene worked three years for stepping stone in Rochester NY in their outpatient program.. She is a CASAC-T and is currently working on her masters in counseling through St John fisher. Please congratulate her when you see her.
