Greetings from the President“A visionary counselor embraces the exploration of different worldviews to seek human self understanding.” - Dr. Francene E. Haymon
Please allow me the opportunity to share with great pride the Association of Multicultural Counseling and Development focus goals for this year. The first goal is to design and implement a Service Day for community outreach services. Hopefully, each year AMCD will provide a Service Day Project in every American Counseling Association National Convention city. The first Service Day will take place in 2009 in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Service Day committee has been established and is in the process of planning a counseling training program. Future programs could include research workshops, motivation seminars, tutoring and study skills, and community employment networking. The second focus goal is to maintain AMCD commitment to the global community. In 2009, AMCD/ACES will sponsor the Counselor Southern Africa Experience. The third focus goal is continue the Summer Leadership Program for emerging leaders. To strengthen AMCD and keep our essential legacy, leadership training is vital. The Summer Leadership Program will be a three day experience in strategic planning, communication, grant writing, disseminating research materials, and problem solving and consultations. I know I stand on the shoulders of past leaders; however, it is my desire as the 2008-2009 President of the AMCD to provide guidance to continue excellent professional multicultural counseling and development.
