Inspirational speakers Job interviews Dear Colleagues:

Imagine attending a series of stimulating back-to-back education sessions then hik- ing the world-famous Diamond Head volcanic tuft to complete your day with one of the most breathtaking views you’ll ever see… or taking an early morning walk down the beautiful white sands of Waikiki beach before joining your peers for a powerful keynote address… or sitting down to savor a cup of Kona coffee on a patio filled with colorful Hibiscus plants, in preparation to explore the Expo hall.

The ACA 2014 Conference & Expo will be so much more than an event. It’s going to be an unforgettable experience—a unique combination of stunning natural beauty and unparalleled career development.

There are so many wonderful opportunities that await us in Hawaii, but I’d like to point out a few that I feel really represent the true spirit of ACA.

• The Client-Focused Research Series: This unique set of programming gives attendees a chance to come face-to-face with cutting-edge research conducted exclusively by ACA membership. To me, this level of personal commitment is especially inspiring.

• The Graduate Students and New Professionals Only Series: Students and new professionals have different needs. These streamlined, information/advice-packed sessions speak directly to those needs. Be prepared to take lots of notes!

• International presidential sessions: Never underestimate the power of perspective. I am hosting these special sessions featuring leaders from counseling organizations outside of the U.S. to encourage dialogue and expand horizons. Open to all.

• Leadership development sessions: Counseling leadership at the national, regional, and local levels is critical to the success and longevity of our profession. Attendees will emerge with solid strategies for making a difference. Open to all.

• Educational programming covering the revised ACA Code of Ethics and DSM-5 changes: These are hot topics for 2014 and beyond. Make sure you soak up as much as you can.

From CEs and Red Cross certification to job interviews and private practice consultations, the ACA 2014 Conference covers all the bases for all counseling professionals. Take a look through this booklet to get a better sense of what’s ahead. I look forward to seeing you on the beautiful island of Oahu.
