Legislation

By working together, our goal is to ensure that the interests and concerns of all counselors across West Virginia are heard and addressed at the state level.  Julie brings a wealth of experience and tenacity that allows her to provide strategic guidance and advocacy on key legislative issues that are impacting or have the potential to impact our profession.  This collaboration between WVCA and WVLPCA strengthens our ability to influence policy decisions, protect our professional interests, and promote the well-being of those we serve.

Membership fees help make this robust legislative representation possible!  As such, members get the added benefits of being able to provide input on the legislative issues of concern to them, participating in advocacy efforts, receiving periodic updates on legislative changes and initiatives directly from the lobbyist, and knowing that their membership in WVCA contributes to a powerful, collective voice advocating for counselors in West Virginia.
