Pre-Conference Tours
August 26th, 2009
by Janice Berger, Manager of Member Services, IECA
Excitement is brewing as everyone looks forward to the pre-conference college, school, and program tours. The response to registration has been exceptional—we were thrilled to have been able to set up a second set of college tours.
We thank each institution that has graciously opened their campuses to IECA consultants in the pursuit of direct knowledge not only at pre-conference time, but also for providing tours throughout the year! These tours provide IECA members with invaluable insight into the school or college, which they can then share with their clients.
On another note, I have been getting quite a few calls from those who attended the IECA Summer Training Institute (STI)—they tell me how energized they have been from the week at Swarthmore and are asking lots of questions about membership.
One thing that struck me is how some of the STI participants mentioned that they have already been in touch with IECA members and how gracious and generous our members have been in offering their time to someone making the transition to private practice. Some of this mentoring comes so naturally to our members that they may not even realize how much of a difference they make. We’re here to tell you, you bet it does! Offering your time to someone can set those newer to the field off to a solid start, create confidence and a feeling of connectedness to IECA colleagues and IECA as an association. We know that our members are collegial, but it is always nice for you to hear how much you are appreciated. You as a mentor play a large part in perpetuating ethics in the field and a lot more. Wait, this is probably a great moment to plug the IECA Mentoring Program, don’t forget to ask me about it…
