I envision an organization where school counselors and college admissions professionals are not only working together but are seamlessly integrated, hand-in-hand, to provide the best support for our students. This work is a testament to the power of perseverance, community, and the transformative potential of education values I hold dear and am committed to upholding during my tenure. Working with such a talented and committed Executive Board is especially exciting. Special thanks to the 2024-2025 board members for the work we will embark on this year:
