PCA Call for Nominations

CALL FOR NOMINATIONS: We will have a new President-Elect this year! Nominations are open and will remain open until March 10^th. What an excellent opportunity for service, advocacy, and to initiate change! I think I can speak for the Past Presidents of late and say that we enjoyed our tenures, appreciated the opportunity, and had a lot of fun as we presided over this terrific organization. While there is much flexibility beyond this, here is what is expected of the President-Elect as per the PCA by-laws:

The President-Elect shall perform the duties of the President in the absence or incapacity of the President as determined by the PCA Executive Council. The President-Elect shall be a delegate to the North Atlantic Counseling Association Chapter of the American Counseling Association; assist the Treasurer in the selection of an accountant for the annual audit; and serve as liaison to all Divisions, Chapters, and Special Interest Groups.

After one year in this role, the President-Elect will move into the role of President. Here is what is expected during that time:

The President shall preside at all meetings of the Association and the PCA Executive Council; consider all motions regularly made; and call special meetings. The President shall appoint all committee chairpersons, including standing committee chairpersons and all committee members, subject to confirmation by the PCA Executive Council. The President shall be an ex officio member without vote on all Association Committees and a delegate to the North Atlantic Counseling Association Chapter of the American Counseling Association. The President shall perform the duties customary to that office and such additional duties as directed by the PCA Executive Council.

Great opportunity right? Those of you who have been to recent meetings know that, while the office is a bit challenging at times, it is an amazing opportunity to evoke change and help PCA to grow and flourish with the help an terrific bunch of executive council members, division leaders, committees, and active members. So, please nominate yourself or another member by emailing me at pdatti@yahoo.com today!

Cheers,
