ABOUT US
The Governing Board is responsible for the managerial and professional direction of the Greater Kansas City School Counselor Association, within approved guidelines. Members and officers are given specific responsibilities. The Governing Board approves the annual budget. Members of the Governing Board are sometimes asked to represent GKCSCA at key conferences or other meetings, to ensure that the Association's voice is heard.
Some of the events that the Governing Board plans are the Fall and Spring Workshops, and Professional Recognition Award in addition to volunteer support at the MSCA conferences. Members also share information with members through e-mail communication and manage the GKCSCA website.
Board members find the opportunity to work with colleagues from different schools stimulating and energizing while striving to advance the counseling profession and utilize best practices.
If you have questions or comments please contact a Governing Board Member representing your area of interest.
