Early Bird registration ends on July 15th!
Want to continue your professional development on the edge of the Sierra
Nevada? Interested in meeting other college counseling colleagues?
Then join other college counseling professionals from across the country
at the 3rd National ACCA Conference, themed: "Exploring New Frontiers in
College Counseling."
This dynamic and personable conference will offer 16.0 CEUs, 6 of which
are law and ethics. Practitioners from 4-year, 2-year, as well as
public and private institutions will attend. In addition, the members
of ACCA represent all types of mental health providers, from counselors
to social workers, from psychologists to family therapists, from
graduate students to seasoned practitioners. Join us for an excellent
conference that will be full of professional development opportunities
and among dedicated colleagues.
We are excited to have Maria "Paahpooh" Balbuena, MA and Thomas
Balistrieri, EdD, as the keynote speakers; their keynote is titled,
"Sacred Time, Sacred Space, and Sacred Relationships in the College
Counseling Profession." Many other exciting presentations have been
scheduled and they can be viewed on the online registration webpage.
One of the joys about the ACCA conference is that it is not one of those
huge, overbearing conventions where you are anonymous by default. At
the ACCA conferences, participants have the opportunity to connect with
diverse colleagues and engage in meaningful and professionally
invigorating dialogue.
In addition to the wonderful conference sessions and connections with
colleagues that will happen, the on-site team has developed some casual
tours of the area, for those staying through the weekend. Why? Because
we love our part of the world and are excited to share some of the
beauty with colleagues! Details are on the conference registration
form.
