North Atlantic Region Association for Counselor Education and Supervision
Emerging Leaders Workshop
Hello NARACES Members!
This is a formal call for nominations for the Emerging Leaders program at the 2024 NARACES conference this coming September 25-29 in Atlantic City, NJ.
Emerging leaders are new professionals (faculty or supervisors) and current graduate students (both Masters and Doctoral level) who have demonstrated aptitude and interest in leadership within the counseling profession. They will be provided with a half-price registration to attend the conference, and invited to attend the Emerging Leaders workshop during the pre-conference onThursday, September 26th. This workshop will be conducted by current and past leaders of NARACES.
The Emerging Leaders workshop is designed to help new faculty and graduate students to discover how professional leadership can enhance their career development, contribute to the profession as a whole, and improve NARACES evolving commitment to multiculturalism, social justice, and anti-oppression. Participants will review topics such as developing their own leadership identity, leadership goals, multicultural and social justice leadership, collaboration and communication strategies, and maintaining personal wellness. They will have the opportunity to connect with past leaders of ACA, ACES, and NARACES, and also learn about current leadership opportunities.
A review panel will select nominees with a demonstrated commitment to Counselor Education and Supervision, leadership experience and potential, and any current or past participation in state, regional, or national organizations and conferences. Applicants must be NARACES members. While all applications are welcome, emerging leaders from minority or underrepresented diversity populations in particular are strongly encouraged to apply.
