Tennessee Counseling Association Journal

November 2008

Editor’s Report

The first edition of the Tennessee Counseling Association Journal was published in November 2007.

In March 2008, the journal received Best Journal (Small Chapter) from the American Counseling

Association.

The second edition of TCAJ has been published and will be distributed to members within the 2008

conference packets.

The editors are currently accepting manuscripts for the 2009 edition. A call for manuscripts will

be published on various listservs including TCA’s listserv.

During the summer LDC, a call went out to the division presidents to nominate one member from

each division to serve on the editorial board. The editors received one nomination from one division

and would like to continue to receive nominations from representatives from the different divisions.

Goals for the year:

􀀹 The editors will be reviewing the publication process and budget to determine if and where

savings can be made.

􀀹 The editors will be developing a policies and procedures manual for the journal. These

policies will document the procedures followed to accept manuscripts and publish editions.
