A chair or program director from your training years can connect you to a proposed Waters branch. We then follow that leader’s own training and earlier teachers. The connection is labeled “trained during their leadership”; personal mentorship can be added when you remember it.
Public archive pass: 10-15-2026. This covers the programs in our directory. It is a first nationwide discovery pass with selected deeper reviews; the last 50 years of every program are not yet complete. A source link may be a current faculty page, a dated history, or a catalog for material that still needs to be obtained.
