About EBHA
EBHA is a non-profit 501(c)(6) professional association whose members provide behavioral health services to people living in Linn, Benton, & Lincoln Counties in Oregon. Our mission is to foster a sense of community for our members, organize professional education workshops, and improve behavioral health care in our area.
Our membership includes psychotherapists (including counselors, social workers, and psychologists) as well as providers of psychiatric services (including psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners). Our members work in a variety of settings, including private practice, agencies, clinics, and hospitals.
Our values are consistent with the ethics codes of our respective professional associations, including those of the American Counseling Association, the American Marriage & Family Therapy Association, the American Psychological Association, and the National Association of Social Workers, and include a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
EBHA was incorporated in 2015 and is governed by its Bylaws (viewable soon).

Consider serving on our Board
EBHA members who live and/or work in Linn, Benton, or Lincoln Counties are encouraged to volunteer to serve on the Board. Serving on the board of a professional organization such as EBHA is a great opportunity to give back to the community and further one's own professional identity and development.
About Board service
We estimate that board service represents a commitment of 3 to 5 hours each month. As part of that, we ask for regular attendance at monthly board meetings (1½ hours), the annual half-day Board-retreat, and ideally at the two annual social gatherings. Board meetings are currently held on the 2nd Friday of each month from 8 to 9:30am. There are opportunities to volunteer for meaningful projects that require more time than the basic expected commitment.
The Board consists of not less than three, but no more than nine persons who are members of EBHA. Terms of office are typically 2 years, and Board service has a limit of up to three consecutive terms. The Board consists of a President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary, and members at-large. Desirable skills of Board members include leadership, organization, networking, advocacy, information technology, and bookkeeping (if serving in the Treasurer role). There is no monetary compensation for Board service.
