…ckets you pad and lobbying you do (likely not with students at the focus). Counselors would rather have more fee waivers, less placed on our plates by you, and useful tools than mousepads, fancy magnets, posters, travel honoraria (yes – they paid ASCA School Counselors of the Year recipients money), conference sponsorship (even coming from someone who works with CASC), and other junk.
