I am back at home and finally have a minute to look at some of the photos and reflect on this week’s Conference. All I can say is “Wow”! Every session and event I attended provided opportunities for open discussion; but nowhere was the the spirit of “being independent” more evident than in Thursday afternoon’s College Committee meeting.
In the middle of a long day that started off at 7:45 AM with the School and College Fair and did not end for most until the last networking opportunity in the late evening, 54 consultants came together for over an hour to share ideas and concerns, volunteering to work together on future projects of interest.
The Standing Committee encourages member participation and invites all college consultants to the next Committee meeting in May in Toronto where you will be updated on the work being done on your behalf.
It is a testament to the committee’s leadership and the sense of support for the association itself that so many came together to support the endeavors to make our college efforts and outreach the best they can be. Thanks to all!
I missed the College Committee meeting. What are the “future projects” that Emily mentioned?
Paul,
In addition to expecting that we will continue to coordinate with the office staff on conference workshops and tours, members expressed interest in: pro bono and volunteer initiatives that provide a direct service to students; outreach to school counselors; and establishing networking groups within their own areas.
