Founded in 1977, the Central Coast Counties Chapter meets for lunch or dinner on an irregular schedule to convey political/legislative news, local county mental health activities, and to hear clinical discussions. The meeting usually features a professional speaker with a topic of interest to members. Counties represented: Monterey, San Luis Obispo, San Benito. President: Stephen Aron, MD.
Originally founded in approximately 1950, the Association became an NCPS chapter in 1974. The group meets on the second Tuesday of each month (except December, May, July and August) for a dinner meeting, usually followed by a speaker on a subject of broad interest about the human condition. Occasional meetings have no speaker, but emphasize a "round-table" discussion on topics of current concern to members. Meetings are held at selected restaurants in the Berkeley/Oakland area or in Central Contra Costa County. Council meetings are the first Monday of alternate months. Counties represented: Alameda, Contra Costa. President: Edward Lim, MD.
Founded in 1977, the Marin Psychiatric Society meets three to four times per year for dinner and an educational program. A meeting in May is traditionally held jointly with the Marin Psychological Society. Counties represented: Marin. President: Adam Nelson, MD.
Counties Represented: Napa, Sonoma, Solano. President: James Eyerman, MD.
Counties Represented: San Francisco. President: Eli Merritt, MD.
