Legislative Advocacy, Leadership Training, and Up-to-Date Info

By far, one of the biggest benefits of your investment in this wonderful profession is advocacy efforts needed at the state and national level. The NMCA advocates on your behalf through its Executive Director, President, Government Committee, and the Governing Council.

Our members benefit from this professional advocacy at local, state, and national levels.

Continuing Education Opportunities

There are a variety of educational opportunities provided through the NMCA. These events support professional counselors, counselors-in-training, clinical supervisors, and counselor educators. Members have access to these opportunities at significantly reduced rates. View Events.
