Professional Development

The WACAC Professional Development Committee is responsible for organizing professional training opportunities and resources for the organization’s membership (beyond the annual conference).

A sampling of committee projects includes:

• Organizing WACAC’s “Share, Learn, Connect” events (regional one-day counselor workshops) in California
• Developing and updating the online “Toolkits” for High School, College Admission, Transfer and Independent Counselors
• Implementing and promoting the WACAC Leadership Development Institute (LDI)
• Training and supporting public school counselors’ efforts to increase college-going rates through the District Directions program.
• Providing College Admissions professionals with less than 2 years of experience with training, mentoring and networking at our Summer Admissions Institute.
