A CASC Conference to Remember
Our team had a blast at the California Association of School Counselors’ (CASC) annual conference, #CASC2024. With much of our company’s roots in California, this conference always promises a great experience. It’s a fantastic opportunity for us to reconnect with peers and current and previous partners. This year, in particular, was really something special!
Dr. Trish Hatch’s Lifetime Achievement Award
Our founder, Dr. Trish Hatch, received the Dr. Loretta Aday Whitson Lifetime Achievement Award at the CASC Annual Awards Ceremony!
When this award was announced, we shared a story about her incredible influence on the school counseling profession, especially in California. Watch the full video of her acceptance speech below.
Hatching Chick Sunglasses
We had many of our team sporting these super fun ‘hatching chick’ sunglasses! You would think we had these specially designed for us, but we owe a big thanks to our team member Tyesha (on the left in the collage below) for discovering them. They truly added to the fun of the event!
