Celebrating Black Women's Leadership in ACA

     As we end Black History month and head into Women’s History Month, I would like to send a special shout out to all the girls that run the world. We have certainly come a long way which is evident in the current leadership of our parent organization, the American Counseling Association, and our divisions. This year, 17 out of the 19 divisions of ACA have women at the helm. Furthermore, I am proud to say that almost half of our divisions are currently led by Black women. So, on this last day of Black History Month join me in saying the names of the Black women who have led us and continue to lead our professions forward for the 2022-2023 year.
