• Seeking authorization for up to $600 to do 2 separate mailings: 1 mailing in November for Call for Papers/Save the Date and 1 mailing in January for Conference Registration.  We plan to do mailings to CMHCs first.  If responses are low on either CMHC mailing, we would send to LCSWs

2. ECGS Proposal #2 for Board Vote

   • ECGS proposes that that the ECGS be reconfigured into 2 distinct committees:  
     • a Graduate Student Committee, with the mission of providing outreach, support, professional networking, and education for graduate counseling students, 
     • an Education and Conference Committee, with the mission of coordinating the Annual Conference and Fall Mini-Conference as well as any additional educational projects.  
       • Rationale:  The ECGS has too large a mission, with too many competing projects to manage.  By creating 2 distinct committees, the work load becomes more manageable and targeted for each committee.  
     • Ellen Behrens nominates Paul Callister to chair the Graduate Student Committee.   Ellen Behrens would like to continue as the chair of the Education and Conference Committee. 
     • There are sufficient graduate student members to populate the new Graduate Student committee as well as sufficient members to populate an Education and Conference Committee.
