President’s Letter: Use Your 20/20 Vision All Year

Registration is open for the 2020 USCA Conference Online!

Conference will look different than it has in the past, but it is going to be amazing! We are excited to announce that this year, conference attendees will be treated to a year-long, all-access pass to incredible learning from a panel of experts in a variety of areas that are pertinent to the school counseling work you are facing this unique 2020–21 school year.

20/20 Vision: Students in Focus

Each month, you will be treated to an expert presentation that will focus on a variety of topics throughout the year. These experts will pre-record their session for you to view throughout the month and then you will have access to a live Q&A with that expert at the end of the month (this will also be recorded). As a conference registrant, you will have access to these recordings and Live Q&A's throughout the 2020-21 school year. And the first 300 conference registrations will receive a mailed swag bag!

• Pre-recorded expert sessions will be released on the first Friday of every month.
• The live Q&A session will be hosted by USCA on the last Friday of every month at 10 a.m. via Zoom (November and December will be hosted one week earlier.) The Zoom link will be sent to conference registrants so you can attend the live event.
• Questions can be submitted ahead of time or asked at the time of the Q&A event. You will receive a link to send advance questions in the email at the beginning of the month; the link will also be available.
