  • Attend a professional development event
    • GCDA Spring Half-Day PDI: "Ethics & Legality in Serving Diverse Populations"; Friday February 26
    • GCDA Mini Conference: Friday, April 22, 2016
  • Participate in community service
  • Contribute to the discussion on social media (LinkedIn and Facebook)
Spring Programming

Two professional development opportunities coming your way this semester: our Spring PDI (February 26) and Mini Conference (April 22). More information below!

Stay Connected

In order to stay connected with you throughout the year, please connect with us on social media: LinkedIn and Facebook

Going foward, we want you to be a contributor to the information shared with GCDA members, whether you are an author of articles, have special events you would like to share with our readership, or simply possess a desire to have a voice in our community of practitioners. Should you wish to be featured in future newsletters and/or have ideas you would like to send to us, please feel free to email your Board anytime at thegcda@gmail.com.

We would like to with all a happy and safe holiday season. We are honored to serve you and look forward to a great 2016!

-GCDA Board



Programming Survey

We strive to plan, promote, and execute programming that meets the changing needs of our members and nonmembers alike. We understand that you are pressed for time, money, and attention so we want to make sure that the programming we provide is in line with your goals.

In an effort to understand your needs and most effectively meet them, we'd like you to fill out the short five minute survey by clicking here. Your responses will remain anonymous and will assist in the planning of relevant professional development opportunities.


    Interact with us on Social Media

    Did you know that the Occupational Outlook Handbook was updated since the last time you read this newsletter? You would already know if you subscribed to the GCDA social media pages!

    We want to encourage the exchange of new ideas, best practices, and trends in our field in between events, so we want you to become active on our social media channels! If you haven't already, visit our LinkedIn and Facebook pages.

    On these pages you'll be able to keep track of events, post articles, and discuss what's going on in the career development field. It's a great (and quick) way to stay up to date on lots of career development related information.
