ACA Annual Conference & Exposition Program Guide | 1 MITCHELL J. LANDRIEU, MAYOR CITY OF NEW ORLEANS

March, 2011

Dear Attendees ACA 2011 Conference and Exposition,

As Mayor of the City of New Orleans, it is my pleasure to extend warm greetings to all of you on the occasion of your 59th Annual Conference, co-sponsored by the Louisiana Counselor Association. This event will bring together individuals who work in the field of counseling, to network and learn, all set against the backdrop of what we believe is the most unique, exciting, historic and culturally rich destination – New Orleans.

I also want to take this opportunity to congratulate and thank you for your year- long initiative – the “Giving Back to the Community Project.” We have all learned, in recent years especially, the value of your profession, as we continue to improve our city to create a better New Orleans for all its residents. Your efforts to reach out to our local population to lend your services will certainly touch the lives of so many who have endured more than their share of grief and loss. Your strong desire to lend a hand to those in need – whether in New Orleans or elsewhere – is exemplary. For your efforts, we remain truly grateful.

On behalf of the residents of the City of New Orleans, you have my best wishes for an enjoyable and productive conference, and please be sure to take some time to enjoy all our great city has to offer.

Sincerely,

Mitchell J. Landrieu Mayor
