• Get Involved

Attention WSCA Members: The WSCA Board and Committees are moving ahead on many new and exciting projects and need your help. We are looking for volunteers to serve on different committees to develop these projects and provide assistance where needed. Please look over the following opportunities and decide if there is an area you would be interested in helping.
 

Education and Professional Development Committee
Areas where you could help out:

1. WSCA's Summer Leadership Academy--help to plan for future academy's including setting up the speakers, logistics for the day, academy registration and
2. WSCA's new Fall Summit--get in on the ground floor with a new WSCA endeavor. Help to develop ideas for what the Fall Summit should look like, when and where the summit should be held and what its focus should be.
3. Building relationships with local CESA's--work with a team to see how WSCA can provide more trainings and services to counselors through our CESA's.

If you are interested in working in any of these areas or have any new ideas please contact committee chair Judy Kuse at jon.kuse@frontier.com .

Government Relations Committee
Areas where you could help out:

1. Ad Hoc Committee: Lobbyist
   As the makeup of the state legislator has made some dramatic changes, WSCA is looking to build a more “offensive” relationship with our state legislators. As changes are happening we are pursuing the possibility of a lobbyist to help WSCA be up-to-date and appraised of the legislative issues affecting school counselors in our state. Please join us as a committee member as we look to building our profession.

If you are interested in working in this area or have any new ideas please contact committee chair Gary Campbell at Gary.Campbell@rfsd.k12.wi.us or at
715.425.1820.

Professional Recognition and Scholarship Committee
Areas where you can help out:

1. Be a reader for the high school and graduate student scholarships, as well as for the professional recognition awards that WSCA gives out each year. The readings are done in December and January.
2. Compile an electronic database of all school districts in the state so that scholarship information can be sent out electronically to each school district in the state.
