Initiation is a space to welcome new members to the society. Here we will hear from the current and new leadership teams and a keynote speaker about the vision of the chapter and importance of community in counseling. This is ultimately a space for new official members to be recognized for their efforts and take the pledge to uphold the high standards of the counseling profession! - Is initiation mandatory?
While we would love to have you at initiation, we understand that you may have other matters to attend to at the same time. Our team will do their best to make accommodations for you, so please reach out!
