MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Hello! My name is Vicki Guilbeau and I am excited to serve as President of the Louisiana Counseling Association for the current term!

Whether you are a current member, a potential member, or someone seeking to learn more about the counseling profession, please explore the LCA website.  The Louisiana Counseling Association is filled with opportunity – opportunity for connection, opportunity for sharing, and opportunity for growth.

As President of LCA, I would like to expand on our strengths. We are strong in number, strong in connectedness, and strong in advocacy. Our membership is solid with professionals who live throughout our state and practice in a variety of specialized areas. Our divisions and committees work well within their circles, work well in association with one another, and work well with our administrative leadership. Our work at the legislative level is building steam as the LCA name continues to gain positive recognition through our advocacy efforts.

My work as President of LCA will evolve with the changing needs of our organization during 2024-25. However, I aim to focus on:

• Increasing LCA professional membership
• Improving connectivity between LCA leaders, as well between LCA leaders and members
• Escalating our momentum on the legislative front

Please reach out to me personally as “my door is open to you” so that the Louisiana Counseling Association may grow by increasing membership, improving connectivity within, and intensifying our professional advocacy. Inform me if I may support your LCA membership in any way or if you can bolster LCA through membership growth or advocacy participation!

Sincerely,

Vicki Guilbeau
