The purpose of chapter IX is to increase the popularity of our common interests
while serving the nine counties of our chapter. We hope to add new members so we will be able to grow and expand. We also
want to have fun while when we are together and working on projects. By developing relationships, friendships, and networks,
the organization will become even stronger. We will accomplish this by networking with other chapters and organizations
while helping to make our own organization more productive.
Our Mission Our mission is to further promote the interests of counseling
to our members and to the community. We strive to make a difference by educating the public on the counseling profession
as a whole. |
