ACA Institute for Leadership Training

Dear Colleagues:

Thank you for your leadership and dedication to the Counseling Profession. I look forward to seeing many branch, regional, and division leaders in just a few weeks at our 3rd ACA Summer Institute for Leadership Training. Just as society has changed, we also recognize the changing needs of today's leader. I hope you will maximize your experience through our keynote speeches, learning sessions, visits with elected officials, and the opportunities you will have to network with fellow leaders from around the country.

The current region chairs and chair-elects, as well as the ACA staff have worked to make the Institute experience one that enhances your skills as a leader. I am excited that nearly 100 thought leaders such as you will be joining together at the Westin Alexandria Hotel in Alexandria, Virginia from July 27th through July 30th.

A special Leadership Institute website has been created at: http://www.counseling.org/Institute.

Remember to visit the site above each week to see what important information has been posted and updated. In our effort to "go green" we are committed to reducing our paper output, but still wanted you to have access to information, so check out the various parts of this site.

Please remember, the deadline to register for the Institute at the reduced rate of $350 is May 15, 2011. After May 15, 2011 the registration rate will increase to $550. The final deadline to register for the Institute is July 15, 2011.

If you have any questions or comments, please send your e-mail to Denise Brown at dbrown@counseling.org, or call at 1-800-347-6647 ext. 303.

See you soon!

Regards,
Don W. Locke, Ed.D.
President 2011-2012
