All Governing Board members are expected to pay for their ISCA conference registration, travel, and hotel. Those who have been Board members have recognized the additional benefits of this leadership experience that include networking, learning about school counseling issues and strategies to advocate for the profession and for school counseling issues, collegiality, and professional and personal development. We encourage you to become involved with ISCA at the board level. Please contact me if you have any questions.
