Question: Professional Organizations in Counseling and You
If you have not already done so, complete the "Research Professional Counseling Organizations" activity in this unit's studies. Then, in your post, address the following:
• Describe one division of the ACA that interests you. Include the cost of joining, membership benefits, activities, services to members, and current issues.
• Post your ACA region and the link for your state counseling association. What is the cost for you to join and be a member of these associations?
• Provide the necessary requirements for your entrance into the Chi Sigma Iota honor society.
• Discuss why it is important for you to be part of the counseling profession's associations as well as your honor society.
Support your ideas by citing your sources using APA style.
Response Guidelines: Respond to at least two other learners in a manner that advances the discussion in a meaningful way. Look for and respond to one learner whose interests in a division or region are the same as yours, and one learner with different interests. Your response is expected to be substantive in nature and reference the assigned readings, as well as the Web sites for the organizations discussed. Reference your sources using standard APA guidelines. (For guidance on the proper way to cite information from the Internet, review the APA Style and Format link in the Resources.)
