It has been a great year as President of LPCA of GA

I have greatly enjoyed my year at President of the Licensed Professional Counselors Association of Georgia. It has been wonderful to work with Angela Fesser as Immediate Past President, and David Markwell as President Elect. Congratulations to Keisha Buchanan who will be joining us at President Elect and David and I move to our next phases. 

I have enjoyed working with Angela, whom I have known since our time when we both worked for Community Services Boards . It has been a great two years. I look forward to my final term as President Elect for 2023-2024. 

I have a link to my brief speech for the start of the convention and Angela presenting me with this award below.
