2025 Austin TAAP Symposium Welcome Letter
Dear Attendees,
On behalf of the Austin Chapter of the Texas Association of Addiction Professionals (TAAP), I would like to extend a warm welcome to all of you at the 2025 Austin TAAP Symposium! It is an honor to come together as a community dedicated to advancing knowledge, sharing experiences, and growing in our shared commitment to improving lives through the power of addiction recovery and treatment.
This event wouldn’t be possible without the generous support of our sponsors. We are incredibly grateful for their commitment to making this symposium a reality and for their dedication to the field of addiction professionals. Your contributions directly support the work we do and enable us to continue offering valuable events like this one year after year. A special thank you goes to all of our presenters for bringing their expertise, insights, and passion to this symposium. Your knowledge is a vital part of the experience, and we are excited to see the impact you will have on our attendees. Your willingness to share your expertise enriches this event and helps us grow as a community.
I would also like to express my deepest appreciation to my planning partners for the symposium this year: Lawrence Spain, Kyle Withrow, and Colleen Hargrove. Their hard work, dedication, and commitment to the success of this event have made all of this possible. Without their contributions, this event would not be what it is today.
At TAAP, we are committed to serving you, our community. This symposium is for YOU our professionals, our partners, and our advocates who dedicate themselves to improving the lives of others. Your feedback is crucial for us to continue improving each year. Please take a moment to share your thoughts and suggestions by filling out a survey that will be emailed to you in the next few weeks. Your input will help us make future events even better!
Thank you again for being a part of the 2025 Austin TAAP Symposium. We hope you find the sessions enriching, the conversations inspiring, and the connections meaningful. Let’s make this an event to remember!
With gratitude and excitement,
Meredith Meurer, LPC-S, LCDC, PSS President, Austin Chapter TAAP
