After many difficult discussions, the CCOSO Executive Board has decided to put forward a motion to sunset CCOSO.
This was not an easy decision to make. However, membership has dwindled and presently there are no members on the books.
Secondly, it would be financially irresponsible to continue CCOSO as following the last Annual Training Conference
we barely covered our financial expenses and would not be able to finance another Annual Training Conference.
While CCOSO is sunsetting, this is not the end of the CCOSO mission of promoting, "Together we can end sexual abuse".
Some other agencies and companies will continue to provide training so professionals can receive current information relevant to the field and meet their CASOMB training requirements.
At this time, we encourage professionals to consider CalATSA as an organization to meet their training requirements, regional meetings with supervision/clinicians/polygraphers, and peer consultation needs.
It is not the end, but rather a passing of the torch.
