The Lookout Counseling Association had an exciting year with two main events.  In September we hosted the Chattanooga and Local Area Schools College Fair.  We collaborated with the National Guard and the Chattanooga Chamber of Commerce for a very succesful event.  Over 80 colleges attended as well as the majority of high schools in the area with thousands of students in attendance.  We are proud to offer this opportunity to Seniors in Hamilton County and the surrounding areas.

 

We also continued the tradition of the Lookout Counseling Association Scholorship program procviding scholorships to 6 deserving students in our region.  An exciting change we made to the scholarship program was adding scholarships at the graduate level for counseling.  We awarded over $5,000 in scholarships and it is a joy to be able to provide students with these opportunities and we invited all scholarships recipients to become active members of the Lookout Counseling Association.

 

We also had an end of the year banquet at Jefferson's in Chattanooga.  It was a relexing, enjoyable time spent networking, collaborating and sharing!  One of the goals of the banquet was to talk to members about what they would like from the Lookout Counseling Association and ways to grow membership, maintain membership and better suite the needs of members.  We had some great round table conversations.

 

At LDC this year leadership was able to talk with other chapters and take some ideas from other regions which we will put in place in our chapter.  We believe as a leadership team we can grow our membership in the following year by 33%, add a community / mental health representative to the leadership board and have four successful events. 

 

We also look forward to attendance at the Tennesse Counseling Association coference Memphis!!!!
