Do you have innovative ideas and strategies to share with your fellow counselors throughout the state? Why not present a program at the 2025 Annual Conference in Macon? Submit a program proposal today!

This year’s theme is "School Counselors - Helping Students Rule Their Experiences".  School counselors play a vital role in empowering students to take charge of their academic, social, and emotional journeys. As we prepare for this year's conference, we are seeking dynamic and engaging proposals that highlight innovative strategies, best practices, and impactful programs that help students navigate and thrive in their educational experiences.

We invite educators and school counselors to submit proposals that align with our theme, focusing on topics such as:

• Academic Success Strategies: Innovative approaches to college and career readiness, closing achievement gaps, and supporting diverse learners
• Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) & Mental Health: Programs and interventions that foster resilience, emotional regulation, and well-being in students
• Equity & Inclusion:  Strategies to create inclusive school environments and advocate for all students, particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds
• Engagement & Leadership: Ways to empower students as leaders, self-advocates, and active participants in shaping their educational experiences
• Collaboration & Partnerships:  Effective ways to engage families, educators, and community stakeholders to enhance student support

We welcome proposals from school counselors, administrators, educators, and mental health professionals who are passionate about equipping students with the tools to 'rule' their experiences. Let's come together to share insights, inspire change, and strengthen our impact in the lives of students.

Deadline to submit your proposal is Wednesday, April 30, 2025. Acceptance decisions will be emailed to submitters by late July.
