Subject: Appeal from the Vocational Evaluation and Work Adjustment Association

Dear NCRE Community,

As an organization dedicated to advancing effective vocational evaluation and 
work adjustment approaches, the Vocational Evaluation and Work Adjustment 
Association (VEWAA) represents an important partner organization with NCRE. 
I encourage you to read and respond to the message below from Dr. Chad 
Betters, VEWAA's 2011 President. Dr. Betters' goals of furthering community 
and student/practitioner involvement in professional organizations are 
consistent with the principles of NCRE and will serve to further strengthen our 
overall profession. 

Best wishes,
Charles (Chuck) Edmund Degeneffe

The Vocational Evaluation and Work Adjustment Association (VEWAA) is calling 
out to all interested faculty members and students interested in vocational 
evaluation and work adjustment practices in an effort to facilitate state 
chapter development, as well as provide rehabilitation counseling and 
vocational evaluation students an opportunity to participate within the 
professional organization. 

The VEWAA is committed to the enhancement of vocational evaluation and 
work adjustment service delivery, and believes that this can maximized by 
concerted effort at the state level. Although there are VEWAA state chapters, 
there is a need for establishing communities within our profession, especially 
for those regions in the country where The VEWAA is also dedicated to the 
advancement of the vocational evaluator identity, and specifically would like 
to invite students who desire to become involved with a professional 
organization, at the state or national level, to participate with our ongoing 
activities. This is an ideal time to become a contributor to the profession, and 
we welcome the viewpoints and voices of our future evaluators and 
rehabilitation professionals.

As the VEWAA’s President for 2011, I encourage all interested parties to 
contact me in order to discuss state chapter development, as well as student 
engagement. Please feel free to call me at (336) 750-2941 or email me at 
bettersch at wssu.edu. We look forward to working with you toward our 
common goal of promoting excellence in the practices of vocational evaluation 
and work adjustment.
