The Board of Directors of the Virginia Counselors Association Foundation is comprised of dedicated counseling professionals and leaders who bring diverse expertise and a deep commitment to advancing the counseling profession in Virginia.
As stewards of our mission, the board provides strategic oversight, fiduciary responsibility and visionary leadership to ensure the foundation continues to support professional education, development and opportunity within the counseling community.
Established as a nonprofit, philanthropic endowment fund, the foundation’s purpose is to promote and foster professional growth, to generate financial resources for programs and scholarships, and to recognize excellence and innovation in counseling across the commonwealth. Through their service, our Board members champion these goals and uphold the foundation’s legacy of impact and community support.
The board includes officers, directors, and ex-officio representatives, each playing a vital role in guiding organizational priorities, along with emeritus members honored for their longstanding contributions to the foundation’s mission.
