When developing professional development plans for your team or for yourself, how frequently are you including involvement in your state or regional ACAC? In a fitting end for a season featuring affiliate leaders, this week we're talking about the many benefits for professionals and their institutions.
And yes, we even address the biggest perceived barrier: that the affiliates seem too cliquey to break in.
We've asked two guests who've seen the positive impacts of ACAC involvement in their own careers to share their stories.
Paul Welsh, School Counselor at Fenton High School in Bensenville, Illinois, and President-Elect of Illinois ACAC (for a few more days) talks about his experiences and other associations that could have captured his attention.
Michael Cartusciello, Director of Admissions at Lesley University, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Past-President of New Jersey ACAC helps us think about the topic from the perspective of institutions who are already involved in their local ACAC.
Join us for this week as we send off season five with a clarion call - get involved in your local ACAC!
