The WACAC Nevada Interests Committee is responsible for activities and issues that pertain to Nevada. The Nevada Interests Committee will cover a variety of activities and issues and will inform the organization’s Nevada membership about current activities and events. As the need arises, the Nevada Interests Committee will work with other WACAC committees such as the College Fairs, Communications and the GRAC committees, to name a few.
The Nevada Interest Committee goals are as follows:
- Advocate for NV school counselor integration into WACAC committees to strengthen the public school voice
- Increase communication at the state level for Northern and Southern Nevada school districts
- Determine future strategies for coordinated programming to directly connect Nevada and California WACAC members
- Collaborate with Clark County School District (CCSD) Guidance and Counseling and northern Nevada oversight committees
- Continue to participate in quarterly mandatory CCSD counseling meetings to spotlight WACAC awareness
- Develop regular social media posts
- Integrate Nevada Interests members within WACAC Committees:
- Give Nevada a voice within WACAC
- Raise awareness of Nevada high school and Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) needs/objectives
- Expose California counselors to merits of NSHE institutions
- Better connect all members as one
