NPCA
NORTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA
COUNSELING ASSOCIATION
A REGIONAL
CHAPTER
OF THE PENNSYLVANIA COUNSELING ASSOCIATION
What is the NPCA?
The
Northeastern Pennsylvania Counseling Association (NPCA) is a regional chapter of
the Pennsylvania Counseling Association (PCA) for
professional
counselors, but currently in inactive status. The NPCA covers
the Northeastern Pennsylvania region of Bradford, Carbon, Columbia,
Lackawanna, Lehigh, Luzerne, Lycoming, Monroe, Montour, Northampton,
Orange (NY), Pike, Sullivan, Susquehanna, Tioga, Wayne, and Wyoming
counties.
It's estimated that between 3,300-4,400 professional counselors live and
practice in this region, yet presently, Northeastern Pennsylvania lacks
a PCA regional chapter due to the NPCA's inactive status. However,
the PCA would like to change that. We want to see a PCA regional
chapter that once again provides Northeastern Pennsylvania professional
counselors opportunities to network, to participate in local
professional development activities, and to socialize! But we need
your help!
How Do I Join?
Given the fact that the NPCA is in inactive status, it's
technically not possible to "join" the NPCA at this time. That
said, the PCA is taking names for a list of prospective members.
PCA by-laws
require that at least 15 names be compiled in order to (re)apply for a
charter. Once we obtain 15 names, the next step will be to draft a
set of NPCA by-laws. (In order to view the PCA by-laws, you'll need to
use the [free]
document reader.)
If you live and/or practice in the Northeastern Pennsylvania region
and would like to add your name to that list--and we hope you do--click
