Directory of Members:  An alphabetical listing of members is published every two years to facilitate communication among colleagues in the counseling profession.  Personal contact information for every member is provided, as well as a staff directory for each elementary, middle, and high school counseling office and college admission office in the tri-county area.

Outstanding Professional Development:  At least four times yearly, WPRCA presents relevant and provocative meetings open to both members and non-members.  The varied programs are designed to stimulate thinking on current professional issues, keep professionals informed of the latest developments in the field, and improve professional skills as counselors.

Human Relations:  The full-day Human Relations program is the keystone annual conference for WPRCA, providing valuable resources for counselors as well as networking opportunities.  WPRCA is committed to furthering humanistic principles and providing practitioners with skills and challenging ideas to incorporate into their work.  Renowned speakers and participatory workshops are hallmarks of the conference.  All are encouraged to attend.

Liaison with NYCA:  The WPRCA Executive Board works closely with the board of the New York State Counseling Association, representing local interests and keeping informed of the latest developments in the State organization.  In recent years, WPRCA has had several of its members elected or appointed to serve on state level positions in NYCA and its affiliate statewide divisions.

Legislation:  The Legislative Committee keeps members up to date on the latest legislation affecting the counseling profession by summarizing current bills through the newsletter and interacting with legislators on the behalf of counselors.

WPRCA Newsletter:  We need an editor and contributors to the former "The Professional Report", WPRCA's highly regarded newsletter, which not only kept counselors abreast of professional programming, but was an important vehicle for sharing innovative ideas, special achievements, and concerns.  It aimed to assist counselors by providing information on financial aid, public relations, current trends and opportunities, human relations, and methods of maintaining a high degree of professionalism.

WPRCA Listserv:  A new initiative, much like the NYSSCA listserv, which will allow WPRCA members the opportunity to dialogue with other members for resources, peer supervision, exchange of ideas, etc.  We need a listmaster.  Please go to the contact page to volunteer.  Thanks!

Professional Support:  An important aspect of WPRCA is to provide professional support and camaraderie in a spirit of friendship and mutual sharing.  

WPRCA members have an abundance of professional talent which is a tremendous resource from which to draw for new ideas and help in our efforts to provide service.  WPRCA meetings and other professional gatherings provide an excellent vehicle for establishing contacts and exchanging ideas.  In short, being an active member of WPRCA is a professional responsibility and an excellent opportunity for professional growth and discourse.
