It’s hard to believe another year has gone by but, looking back, there have been many milestones for the ICEEFT community, not least of which is that we are now well over 10,000 members strong with more than 110 centres and communities in over 40 countries. This is a testament to everyone who works, of ficially or otherwise, to promote EFT in their commu
nities and practices. Thank you everyone!
With regard to the Operations Team specifically, I’m very happy to welcome Alizah Cameron as our new Marketing & Event Coordinator. Alizah facilitated the recent EFT for Trauma book launch (see pg. 2), will lead planning and logistics coordination for the 2027 EFT World Summit (see pgs. 5-6), and will be in volved with several other projects designed to raise
EFT’s profile around the globe.
I’m also pleased to have Dani Parry with us for an eight-month co-op term from the University of Victoria. Dani has been combing through the tremendous amount of EFT material, hunting for all the best quotes, video clips and references, to draw on for future course preparation, member resources, out reach and marketing.
Work to upgrade and modernize our internal systems continues. A priority is launching French and Spanish versions of our sites so members can use ICEEFT in their preferred language. This requires a substantial effort that includes translated content, improved navigation, and testing across devices and regions. Progress is steady and we’re targeting launch in early 2026.
As in many organizations, the Operations Team is exploring what the rise of AI will mean for ICEEFT. As an organization focused on humanistic values and personal connection, we’re moving cautiously and deliberately. The approach is to assess specific, limited-use cases where AI can add practical value, put governance and human oversight in place first, pilot
tools with clear safeguards for data safety, and provide staff training before any wider adoption. These are interesting times with interesting opportunities. We don’t want to fall behind, but even more importantly, we don’t want to let efficiency or automation come at the expense of our human relationships — with each other and with you all.
On behalf of the Operations Team, I wish you a healthy, peaceful, and connected 2026.
