President's Letter: Leadership and Learning

Congratulations to our newly elected officers of the Board of Directors, listed below. Thank you to all who participated in the election process. 

I am happy to announce our annual Regional Drive-In Workshops, below. The region vice presidents have been working with the Professional Development Committee and Cynthia Floyd, school counselor consultant at NCDPI, to provide professional development opportunities that are relevant and informative for school counselors. There is no registration cost for NCSCA members; for nonmembers the registration fee is $40.00.

Please visit the NCSCA website and follow us on Twitter and Facebook for news and information.

Last but not least, although we celebrated National School Counselor Week at beginning of this month I want you to know that you are valued and respected every day of the year.
