 WSCA
Annual Conference
February 22-24, 2012
On behalf of the Wisconsin School Counselor Association Board I
am happy to invite you to the 2012 WSCA Conference. This conference
is known throughout the United States as one of the finest offered
for school counselors and other pupil services professionals and
I encourage you to take advantage of its many offerings.
What a year of changes! Little did I know when I spoke to you last
year how many changes we would actually face. With change comes
new beginnings and new adventures. The educators in this state have
met these challenges head on, and none more so than our conference
committee. Due to the closing of our long time conference site WSCA
was forced to change our conference location and make tough decisions
that impact our organization. The conference team handled this situation
with a positive approach, viewing this as a great opportunity. I
can't wait to see how this change brings new growth and expansions
to WSCA. A mentor of mine always liked to say, "The mark of
a great leader is their ability to adjust." This past year
has forced many of us to make adjustments in many areas, both professionally
and personally. I encourage you to find support and guidance for
these changes at the 2012 WSCA conference. The annual WSCA Conference
provides all of us the opportunity to refresh and refocus as a professional
educator. It is a place where we learn from experts in the field
and share ideas with colleagues. I encourage you to take advantage
of our February conference to find the resources that will push
you forward in implementing a Comprehensive School Counseling Program,
while continuing to move your passion for students into action.
I look forward to seeing you at the 2012 WSCA conference in our
new location! Let's take time to share and explore how we have chosen
to move our profession forward and all the adventures of the past
year.
