New Services Coming to CCDA Members!
Serena Santillanes, President-Elect and Membership Chair

CCDA is proud to announce that beginning in June 2004 we will be offering two new programs to members.

Best Practices Website:
Access tips on career counseling techniques, training exercises and useful career websites from career counselors around the state! This website will be accessible to CCDA members coming in 2004! This will be an invaluable resource to use with you career clients!

Vendor Discounts and CCDA Bucks:
Discounts on much used career products such as EUREKA – individual subscriptions and more. Also earn CCDA Bucks good for discounts on CCDA events.

The National Career Development Association has awarded CCDA two grants to work on the development of these two new projects. Claire Sham-Choy (CCDA Board Member) and her graduate students at Cal State Fresno will be spearheading the Best Practices Website and Rochelle McCready (CCDA Board Member) will be managing the development of the vendor discount program. Be on the lookout for these exciting new offerings available only to CCDA members!
