Dear Christine,

I am reaching out to personally invite you to participate in one of ACA's most impactful events of the year: 2024 Hill Day<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Facaa.informz.net%2Fz%2FcjUucD9taT05MTg3NjU1JnA9MSZ1PTc3MjA2NDAyNyZsaT04NDEwNzEyNQ%2Findex.html&data=05%7C02%7Ccounselor_educ%40listserv.ohio.edu%7C28cdbef361494ec1768908dc50ce94bf%7Cf3308007477c4a70888934611817c55a%7C0%7C0%7C638474095379910581%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=nQOlKVjH2TWOr5Yk1UzEM8IuD8waMSTVpztzMwFf4UE%3D&reserved=0>. Taking place May 15–16 in Washington, D.C., this event is an invaluable experience that allows us to come together as a community and strengthen our voices to effectively advocate for the counseling profession and the well-being of our clients.

ACA Hill Day is a unique opportunity for our nearly 60,000 members to amplify issues important to the counseling profession. Our numbers are strong which makes our voices loud. We need more of you to participate for maximum effectiveness with legislators and their staff, discuss key issues facing our profession and showcase the importance of our work.

Consider joining us for additional opportunities to:

  1.  Advocate for change: Your participation can make a real difference in shaping policies that impact the counseling profession. By sharing your insights and experiences with lawmakers, you can help shape the future of our field.
  2.  Connect with colleagues: You’ll be joined by fellow counselors from across the country, providing an unparalleled opportunity to make meaningful connections that can lead to collaborations, partnerships and friendships that will support you throughout your career.
  3.  Gain professional development: Our Hill Day program is designed to help you develop essential advocacy skills, gain a deeper understanding of the legislative process and learn how to effectively communicate our message to policymakers.
  4.  Be part of something meaningful: When you join us, you become part of a collective effort to promote and protect counselors, the counseling profession and clients.

This year, we are also offering a grant for graduate students to participate. Graduate students may apply for the grant<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Facaa.informz.net%2Fz%2FcjUucD9taT05MTg3NjU1JnA9MSZ1PTc3MjA2NDAyNyZsaT04NDEwNzEyNg%2Findex.html&data=05%7C02%7Ccounselor_educ%40listserv.ohio.edu%7C28cdbef361494ec1768908dc50ce94bf%7Cf3308007477c4a70888934611817c55a%7C0%7C0%7C638474095379910581%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=5YGTJV2DawWdEUIptzmtA5FbUAHTlNbNjBdDOvhIczU%3D&reserved=0> to help offset travel costs.
