Jennifer Just McGuire, MASCA President

Dear Colleagues,

Thank you for visiting the MASCA website.  I feel very proud to be serving as president of our organization this year.  We are fortunate to have so many colleagues that are willing to give of their time, energy, and skills to help this organization continue to grow and meet the needs of our members.

As you may know, our theme for the year is Charting the Course.  This theme is fitting in two ways.  Over the past few years, we have all be learning about the Massachusetts Model for Comprehensive School Counselor.  It is now time that we take what we have learned in theory and put it into practice—thus charting the course in our schools and districts. Secondly, as an organization, we have worked diligently over the past few years to make certain that we are moving forward and serving our large membership, which continues to grow each year.  Focusing on strategic planning will enable us to meet our goals and overcome challenges we may face.  In this sense, our governing board is charting the course as well.

I hope that 2007-08 is a successful year for each of you, both personally and professionally.  Thank you for the honor of serving you in this capacity.

Sincerely
Jennifer J. McGuire
