ALCA public policy activities are operated
under the auspices of the ALCA membership through its officers
and representatives. The ALCA Government and Professional
Relations Committee is the direct arm that handles these
activities regularly.
Public policy and government and professional relations are
important activities for ALCA. This effort requires
awareness on the part of our members. Toward that end, ALCA, in conjunction with the American Counseling Association
and the other state branches, has established a state link for CAPWHIZ, a computerized identification and information system,
that allows us to locate political leaders and political issues
easily and readily.
To access the system immediately, go to
http://capwiz.com/counseling. Once there, scroll down
to the "State Elected Officials" section of the page, pull up
Alabama in the box provided, and click on "Go". This site
alerts you to all national issues but also gives you ready
identification of our state leaders and their contact
information.
We hope this service is helpful. If you have any
questions, contact the ALCA Office at
alca@alabamacounseling.org or 205-652-1712.
