ACA needs your help in determining the lineup for the 2012 ACA conference in San Francisco next March.  We would love to have you respond to the following two questions:
1.                        Other than a faculty member in your own program, who is a famous counselor that you would enjoy seeing (and meeting) at the conference?
Who is the person most likely to get the following reaction from you:  "I can't believe I'm seeing her/him in person!"

2.                        What topic(s) would you like to see at the 2012 conference for the For Graduate Students and New Professionals Only series?
Most of our student attendees are enrolled in master's degree programs, so while we certainly want doctoral level related programs, we are especially desirous of topics that are meaningful to master's level students and new professionals.

ACA thanks you for your willingness to help construct the 2012 For Graduate Students and New Professionals Only series.  The ACA conference is the world's largest conference for professional counselors (over 4,300 attended the New Orleans conference last month) and we hope that everyone can come to San Francisco. For information on the conference - including how to submit a proposal before the June 8nd deadline- visit www.counseling.org/conference<http://www.counseling.org/conference>. Even if you can't attend we still would love to have your ideas for the series.

You can send your thoughts directly to ACA at dkaplan at counseling.org<mailto:dkaplan at counseling.org>.

Thanks!

David Kaplan
ACA Chief Professional Officer
