The Emerging Leaders workshop is designed to 1) help students discover how leadership can enhance their own professional development, 2) enhance the diversity and vitality of ACES leadership, and 3) provide an overview of ACES leadership opportunities. In addition, presenters introduce participants to current SACES leadership and help connect these talented and dedicated fellows with opportunities within SACES. Emerging leaders are nominated by a counselor educator or supervisor and submit a vita that evidences leadership and service experience and potential. The SACES Emerging Leaders Selection Committee reviews each July several nomination letters and accompanying vitas. Particular attention in selection is given to representation in diversity and state participation.
