Governing Board

The Governing Board is responsible for the managerial and professional direction of the Southwest Missouri School Counselor Association, within approved guidelines. Members and officers are given specific responsibilities. The Governing Board approves the annual budget. Members of the Governing Board are sometimes asked to represent SMSCA at key conferences or other meetings, to ensure that the Association's voice is heard.

The Governing Board meets monthly. Business is also conducted in between meetings, usually by email. Some of the events that the Governing Board plans are the Fall and Spring Workshops, the Crisis Training Workshop, the Spring Administrator Appreciation Luncheon and Professional Recognition Award, and various fund raising activities. Members also produce the bi-annual SMSCA SHARE newsletter and manage the SMSCA website.

It can be hard work, but it is also very rewarding. Members find the opportunity to work with colleagues from different types of school environments stimulating and energizing. Members ensure that they enjoy themselves at the same time as striving to advance the cause of school counseling and improve the practice of the profession.

If you have questions or comments please contact the 2011 - 2012 Governing Board Member representing your area of interest. For a full list of Governing Board Officers, [Click here] for contact information including committee, member name, school district and address, phone, fax, and email.
