It is now important to expand our MACDA State Division and reach out to our many colleagues doing valuable
work in numerous settings with multicultural students and clients throughout Massachusetts. This includes professionals from
diverse and excellent associations that currently serve the Commonwealth, counselors and teachers from K-12 and
post-secondary education settings, counselor educators, representatives from agency, business, and various public and private
sectors including private practice, government, labor, parents, and ALL stakeholders. We must collaboratively discuss issues and
create innovative and relevant career-life development programs that sufficiently prepare youth for their future as contributing
members of an informed citizenry, and assist adults dealing with their own on-going career-life transitions. Our efforts with both
practice and research, must include individuals and groups with diverse faith traditions and marginalized
populations e.g., BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color), first generation students, veterans,
incarcerated, homeless, special needs and others.

We welcome your membership in MACDA as we collaborate with NEC sister State Division CDAs, NCDA and other
stakeholders, to promote excellence in our efforts.
