Chapter Leadership

We owe a debt of gratitude to all our dedicated members who have served and are serving in leadership roles throughout CCDA's network of Local Chapters.


Why We Serve . . .

Kathy Engelstad, MA
Has served as: President, Regional Director, Secretary
I am not sure what year I first became a member of CCDA. It was while I was a graduate student with exciting dreams and hopes for the future. I immediately began to attend meetings and enjoy the benefits, including the ICDC conferences. In 2001 I became a board member as Secretary, and then moved up to Regional Director, and then President. It is truly hard to believe! There have been many rewards, and many challenges over the last few years, but what has always kept me interested has been the relationships that have nourished my career and that of my associates. I believe that the growth that has taken place for me has been through the mentoring I have received, and the caring and supportive people in our special field. We come from different arenas on the career development spectrum, but all are here to make a difference. We continue to learn and grow together.

JoAnn Tennyson, MS, NCC
Has served as: Secretary, ICDC Co-Chair
I have been a member of CCDA since 2001 and Board Secretary for this organization since 2005. It is exciting to be a part of CCDA as we move closer to licensure. I have enjoyed being a part of the process as we work towards an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) designation. I have met many wonderful colleagues who share their enthusiasm, knowledge and commitment towards helping our profession grow and gain professional stature among other counselors in California. Career counselors in California continue to grow in their diversity. I have enjoyed mentoring and being a part of their professional lives. They bring rich life experiences and eagerness to our profession. I look forward to many more years of this rewarding partnership!

Robin Wortley Hammond, MS, PHR
Has served as: President, Communications Chair, Webmaster & Newsletter Editor, ICDC Sponsorship, Graduate Student Representative
After being the 2000-2001 Graduate Student Representative, I have consistently served on the CCDA Board in a variety of communications capacities including newsletter editing and production, website design and redevelopment, and member services. Currently as Communications Chair, I get to work primarily on the website along with some other projects, including advertising and member support. For myself, I can say that I've benefited greatly from participating in CCDA leadership and the wonderful connections I've maintained both professionally and personally. This is a group of dedicated professionals whose hearts and souls are committed to promoting the important role of career development practitioners in achieving true health, balance and continuous employability among California’s great workforce!

Mary Robins, MA
Has served as: President, ICDC Program Chair, Silicon Valley Chapter Chair
I like being connected and I like contributing. However, I wasn't quite prepared for the depth and breadth of the connections I made when I volunteered to become a Board member for CCDA. All of a sudden a very large state became much, much smaller. I've met and become friends and colleagues with individuals whom I deeply respect. And, I've learned more about myself, my capabilities, and the many ways that I can contribute to my profession.

Serena Santillanes, MS, NCC, MCC
Has served as: President, Secretary, ICDC Program Chair
It has been an honor and pleasure to serve the California Career Development Association. Not only did I have the chance to make many new friends, connect with other career professionals around the country and further develop my leadership skills, but I also had the opportunity to give back to this profession. There are many people who are in need of our services and if our profession is to continue to develop, grow, and evolve, I think we all need to make an effort to serve our professional societies at some point in our career.
