Welcome back to school and to another wonderful year with the Lake County Counselors Association. Last year was a record breaking year for us as our membership topped 100 for the first time. I am hopeful that we will start the year at that level and increase even more. Having been a member of LCCA for 6 years now and president for my second year, I value the connections I have made and the opportunities I have had to grow in my profession. I hope that all of you are finding the same thing and will encourage your fellow counselors to join with you this year.
This year LCCA will offer two afternoon workshops, two college tours, the annual conference, and the ever popular LCCA January social. As it was so well received, we also plan to continue offering a New Counselors’ Luncheon prior to the fall workshop. We hope that all counselors who have three or less years of experience will consider joining us for a time to share and exchange ideas (including those of you who came last year and who still have three years or less experience). I hope that all of you will join us each and every time for the wealth of information provided, the chance to share ideas, and the continued connections with good friends. As an added bonus, the workshops, tours, and conference are all eligible for CPDUs now that we need those to renew our certification. The dates for each event are listed below.
Dates for our programs:
Fall Workshop – Friday October 2, 2009
New Counselor’s Luncheon – Friday October 2, 2009
One day college tour – Friday October 30, 2009
LCCA Social Hour – Thursday January 28, 2010
Winter Workshop – Friday March 5, 2010
Annual Conference – Friday May 14, 2010
Summer college tour – dates and location to be determined
Please take a moment to complete and send in the enclosed membership form (if you renewed your membership at the annual conference in May you don’t need to worry about it). If there are other members of your department who have not previously been members, please feel free to copy the form for them and encourage them to join us. Thank you in advance for joining the Lake County Counselors Association and have a wonderful year.
