Last chance to apply to the AHC Emerging Leader program!

Please encourage your students to apply! 

 The program is also open to new professionals! 

The deadline to apply is December 1st 😊 Thank you! 

2019-2020 AHC Emerging Leaders Program
The AHC Emerging Leaders program was developed to allow student and new professional leaders to participate in AHC activities, receive mentorship, and connect with professional networking opportunities.
Emerging Leaders will be selected to serve for the 2019-20 term (July, 2019 to July, 2020). Master’s level students, doctoral level students, and  new professionals will be selected as AHC emerging leaders. Recipients must be an AHC member at the time of application and fall into the master’s, doctoral, or new professional categories. Emerging Leaders choose an area of interest within the division and receive mentoring related to that area. Emerging Leaders will provide a minimum of 50 hours of service to an AHC committee, project, or task. Emerging Leaders will also have opportunities to learn the responsibilities associated with serving in elected leadership positions within our association. They will also receive FREE conference registration for the 2020 AHC conference.
Emerging Leaders will be featured in our newsletter, Infochange, and recognized at the AHC meeting at the American Counseling Association Conference.
