A Letter From Our President

Dear GCCA Colleagues,

As incoming President of GCCA, I am happy to report we have an extraordinary year ahead of us, however; I would like to start by recognizing the accomplishments of GCCA under the leadership of Mr. Pat Mooney.

We had a tremendously successful 2009-2010 year!

GCCA is an organization whose members naturally cultivate emerging leaders in the field of college counseling. This year we were fortunate to be able to establish the President’s Grant. This grant honors our distinguished past presidents for their service, dedication and mentorship through GCCA.

Two deserving graduate students were awarded the President’s Grant and attended the 2010 conference. One of the recipients, Tracy Hall, will continue to work with the executive council this year as the Student Representative. Our regional representatives were able to provide valuable CE opportunities and our 17th Annual GCCA conference was a huge success. Overall, we had a great year!

Looking to 2010-2011, we have an exciting year planned!

Our regional representatives are already busy planning local CE workshops. A workshop calendar will be on the website by the end of March! If you have speakers or topics you would like to see or you would like to volunteer to present a workshop for your local region, do not hesitate to contact your regional representative and share your ideas! Current regional representative information can be found at www.gacollegecounseling.org.

In the months ahead, we are looking at ways to use our website more effectively to serve and communicate with our members, as well as, utilizing our Facebook site to share information, pictures, and create a larger web presence.

Jon Kerr, our President-elect, has already started preparing for our annual conference in January 2011 on St. Simon’s Island. Mark your calendars, the dates are January 26th – 28th, 2011!

Please do not hesitate to contact me or any of the Executive Council members in the future. We have an energetic group and we are here to serve you!

Take care,

Taffey Cunnien
GCCA President
