AHC encourages the development of the whole person: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects; promotes the dignity and worth of the individual
within the context of community and culture; recognizes and cherishes diversity in an increasingly multicultural society; promotes advocacy within our
profession, our home, and world communities; identifies cutting edge issues for counseling and human development professionals; and encourages
dialogue and promotes solutions. The AHC Emerging Leaders was developed to allow leaders to participate in AHC activities, provide mentorship, and
network opportunities.
Three Emerging Leaders will be selected to serve for the 2013 term (March 2013 to March 2014). The three leaders will consist of a master’s level student,
doctoral student, and new professional. Interested persons are encouraged to submit a nomination be considered for the emerging leaders program.
Recipients must be an AHC member at the time of application and fall into the master’s, doctoral, or new professional categories. Emerging Leaders choose
an area of interest within the division and receive mentoring in service. Emerging Leaders will also have opportunities to learn the responsibilities of serving
elected leadership positions in our association.
Emerging Leaders will be featured in our newsletter, Infochange, and recognized at the AHC meeting at the 2012 American Counseling Association Conference
in San Francisco, California.
