Dear Friends and Colleagues:
I am pleased to be serving as the President of the Colorado Counseling Association for the 2014-2015 term. Like many of you I I am pleased to be serving as the President of the Colorado Counseling Association for the 2014-2015 term. Like many of you I have enjoyed my time working within this beautiful state. I received my bachelor's degree in psychology from Fort Lewis College, master of arts degree in counseling from Regis University, have worked within therapeutic child care facilities and private practice settings, and am now building an organization for whole person wellness. For the past five years I have particularly enjoyed volunteering with CCA as a governing council member. For me, I have felt more connected to what is going on in our state and throughout the country as well as better positioned to help increase resources provided to those who are preparing to or are throughout the country as well as better positioned to help increase resources provided to those who are preparing to or are already busy serving others.
During our recent (June, 2014) annual Leadership Summit we agreed upon three primary goals for this next year:
1. To position ourselves financially within the next year to successfully pursue hiring an Executive Director so as to expand organizational leadership beyond capabilities of a one term volunteer president. 2. To increase support offered from administrative consultant from part to half time (20 hours per week) believing this will increase success of goal number one. 3. To enhance membership benefits. From year to year we have asked ourselves the same question, "why join CCA?" Beyond its annual conference, what's in it for our members?
I am proud to report that over the past few years CCA has been positioning itself to really begin delivering enhanced benefits to our constituents. In an effort to reach more areas of the state connecting students, new and working professionals, affiliate professionals, and retirees of the industry, we will begin offering limited grant monies to active members within different regions for the purpose of networking, events, and other approved activities by way of application (Coming Soon).
CCA is committed to increasing marketing visibility of those looking to build and expand upon their private practices and CCA is committed to increasing marketing visibility of those looking to build and expand upon their private practices and organizations they represent. CCA was recently awarded $120,000 by Google for the purpose of online advertising. This allows CCA to spend $10,000 per month promoting our membership directory to those looking to find mental health services throughout the state of Colorado.
CCA is expanding upon its recognition of those who are making a difference in our field both within and beyond scholastic CCA is expanding upon its recognition of those who are making a difference in our field both within and beyond scholastic achievement. We have recently approved a $10,000 budget for the purpose of grants, scholarships, and other awards to be offered to deserving members at our annual awards ceremony within the 2015 conference next April 9th and 10th.
Speaking of the annual conference, we are aiming mile high this year by contracting Dr. Dan Siegel for a full day (9-3pm) training on day one of our conference. To increase opportunity for more people to attend we have secured the Colorado Convention Center as our venue.Equally as important is our newly approved membership and conference rates. Approaching this with a glass half full perspective Equally as important is our newly approved membership and conference rates. Approaching this with a glass half full perspective CCA membership ranges between $30 and $60 offering additional discounts for groups of 10, 25, 50, and over 100. CCA Conference pricing will range between $65-$95 for the entire two day conference. Our intention was to walk away from this decision feeling confident in the question, "can you afford NOT to be a member and attend the conference next year?" Hopefully your answer is "No," in which case, thank you for joining or renewing your membership and see you at the conference, if not sooner at any of our other wonderful events happening soon!
