09:03:15 From adowney : You got this Ed!! 09:08:26 From Marian Hoyt : Agreed! Great idea. 09:11:39 From Bill Marchione : We may want to reach out to our members to see who may have ideas for webinars on this topic 09:13:35 From Lynne Muller : I have worked on issues of racism and white privilege for years and have presentations for workshops. I would be glad to help with the committee. I also have worked on LGBTQ issues and present on this topic as well. Both would fit in the equity work. 09:22:26 From Tymeerah : where would I find the qualifications? 09:22:34 From Bill Marchione : I say do it now 09:22:40 From Tracey : I know someomne that might be interested in MS VP. 09:22:41 From Bill Marchione : while people are still checking emails 09:23:05 From Tracey : Tymearah Grandy from AACPS 09:24:34 From Marian Hoyt : Could we send it out now but have a later deadline? So we could sent it now and then send a follow up email closer to the deadline? I agree with Kelly about being overwhelmed, but they also might be so overwhelmed that they shut off email ASAP 09:26:38 From adowney : I can post it on social media if that's okay with everyone 09:35:38 From Maureen Ponce : Hi, I can help with bylaws committee 09:36:14 From adowney : who else?? 09:36:16 From adowney : :) 09:36:59 From Holly Kleiderlein : That was a really good interview! 09:40:29 From Edward Reed : Cambridge Hyatt 09:41:02 From James Harris : I also vote for Cambridge Hyatt 09:41:52 From gefoust : I saw ASCA extended the discounted rate until June 15 I think 09:45:49 From Bill Marchione : perhaps reach out to counseling supervisors and ask them to make the expectation not only to be a member but to at least attend one MSCA meeting? 09:47:11 From gefoust : When I get back on campus I may be able to find some historical materials from the last time I was on the board 09:48:05 From Bill Marchione : Other Past presidents: Jeremy Goldman, MIchelle Gilliam 09:49:05 From Alexis : Love that idea 09:50:05 From Maureen Ponce : We could create an award to give a school counselor which embodies her energy, mission, and ideals as a practicing school counselor and give it to them during the award gala 09:50:58 From Lynne Muller : Leaving for a few minutes 09:53:55 From Maureen Ponce : Also, provide a platform for recent graduates to ask questions about school counseling experiences they may not have received in their placement due to the school closing. 09:54:53 From Marian Hoyt : The "You're Hired, Now What?" virtual seminar could include some tips for how to counsel in a virtual setting, including self-care, as they likely didn't learn that 09:55:35 From Marian Hoyt : I imagine new grads are more tech savvy, which could lend well to virtual counseling, but would be good to mention that. You could utilize the webinar ASCA put on out on virtual counseling 09:59:05 From Tymeerah : Not sure if this is relevant but I've heard of some interns having a difficult time finding placements for the fall. 10:00:09 From Marian Hoyt : Baltimore City was hiring a lot, I believe like 40 counselors! 10:00:50 From Marian Hoyt : Important to cover ethical and liability concerns with virtual counseling 10:01:35 From Marian Hoyt : We could mention the Mentorship Program, since I'm sure a lot would like it 10:02:02 From Holly Kleiderlein : I had an intern during this semester and we both learned a lot about virtual counseling during her time with me. Kelly is correct that each county has its own policies, so part of survival as a new counselor is making sure counselors are familiar with, and follow, their county guidelines. 10:04:24 From Marian Hoyt : At this point, not everyone has a job and I know the job search itself can be overwhelming. Could we check in with each county's SC coordinator to determine the expectations and put that out for the recent grads? 10:04:29 From Maureen Ponce : I had a school counseling interns and they finished the year virtually, we held weekly supervision with the intern, and this intern was an integral part of our program. It can be done. 10:04:57 From Maureen Ponce : You have to be intentional. 10:06:07 From Bill Marchione : the interns in my county were a godsend, they created a virtual career day for all the middle schools that had a spring career day in the county 10:06:53 From Holly Kleiderlein : You could check with coordinators to see who is in charge of pairing counselors with interns and see if they learned some dos and don'ts 10:08:54 From Holly Kleiderlein : Ed sounds like he's on autotune! 10:09:17 From Marian Hoyt : We have two MSCA members who are interested in being a mentor. Not sure if that still stands in virtual learning though 10:11:16 From Edward Reed : no worries, I think it’s important to dialogue with school based counselors about the benefits of interns and how we would like to use them in the virtual space. 10:12:58 From Maureen Ponce : Gretchen, I can help with helping grad students. 10:13:44 From Alexis : Gretchen I am happy to help as well 10:14:00 From Marian Hoyt : Yes, great idea! 10:16:46 From Marian Hoyt : Love this and so cool to have Alicia! 10:16:51 From Tracey : Great! I am excited about the book club. I just ordered Interrupting Racism 10:19:20 From Tracey : I agree open it up to all school counselors 10:19:36 From adowney : Maureen- I know a counselor who said she would LOVE to help you with this. I will send you her contact info. 10:21:05 From Marian Hoyt : Regions could always form their own book club if they would like, to have books that are more level friendly :) 10:21:52 From Holly Kleiderlein : After having a state-wide book club, regions could do a follow up to address details pertinent to their area. 10:22:54 From Marian Hoyt : If we're able to get it done quickly, we could start the Summer Series with a webinar on supporting LGBTQ+ students since June is Pride Month 10:23:19 From Marian Hoyt : I think Lynne said she has a lot of experience with this? 10:24:42 From Nikki Ham-President-Elect : Perfect Marian. I just received confirmation from Rachel Campbell, who is a Transgender Social Justice Activist to reschedule our webinar. She is on board to reschedule this month. 10:26:47 From Holly Kleiderlein : If there's anyone who's not muted, could you please mute? I've been having audio skipping throughout the meeting. Anyone else or is it just me? 10:28:16 From Alexis Thompson : That sounds familiar…there may be a draft for the research page already 10:28:59 From Marian Hoyt : Awesome, Nikki! 10:35:11 From Marian Hoyt : Such a helpful resource! 10:48:28 From Tracey : We are going to be a community school next school year. We are in the process to figure out what all of this means for us. We were told we can get another nurse and social worker. 10:48:33 From Alicia Oglesby : McNamara is having our graduation event today so I must get ready for that. Thanks for having me, everyone. I’ll see you all again soon. Be well! 10:48:53 From adowney : Thank you Alicia for joining us! 10:49:09 From Marian Hoyt : Holly, what's the name of the survey? 10:49:26 From Marian Hoyt : lol 10:49:34 From Marian Hoyt : Okay, thanks! 10:49:41 From Nikki Ham-President-Elect : Thank you Alicia, we will be in touch. Have a great program 10:50:28 From Laura Jones : Thank yo ALicia. I can't wait to read your book! 10:58:51 From Bill Marchione : Under the about us link we have The Blueprint of Maryland’s Future, Interview with MSCA’s Legislative Chair 10:59:25 From Nikki Ham-President-Elect : Thank you 11:00:08 From Laura Jones : Well said! Thanks Holly! 11:00:23 From adowney : Thanks Holly! 11:00:38 From Marian Hoyt : Very informative, thanks! 11:00:48 From Tracey : Thank you Holly for the information 11:01:23 From Maureen Ponce : How can we create an organized system to track each county associations, do they have one, provide PD for getting one established, and this group can be your grassroots go to folks for each county… just a thought. 11:02:17 From adowney : Maybe another "print this card" with an eleveator pitch on it to keep in their wallet 11:05:42 From Marian Hoyt : You do a great job, Allie! 11:06:51 From Marian Hoyt : Haha thank you! 11:06:54 From Nikki Ham-President-Elect : Great job Allie 11:07:15 From Bill Marchione : Allie thank you for making social media what has become for MSCA!! 11:07:56 From Holly Kleiderlein : Yes, Derek Francis is awesome! 11:08:13 From Holly Kleiderlein : They have a part 2 of that webinar coming up 11:09:47 From adowney : Thanks, Bill and Nikki 11:10:17 From Edward Reed : I’m still muted😅 11:14:49 From Holly Kleiderlein : I love that Leslie has the inventory right there behind her! 11:15:23 From adowney : I want a magnet! 11:15:40 From adowney : I want that too!! 11:15:52 From Lynne Muller : love the magnet!! 11:16:10 From adowney : Nice! 11:16:11 From Laura Jones : I want a magnet and a half zip sweatshirt in a medium 11:16:16 From Marian Hoyt : Love these! Wearing my MSCA shirt today. I think Nikki is too! 11:16:34 From adowney : I definitely think we should post pictures and sell them online 11:16:40 From adowney : I would love to share them on social media 11:16:47 From Maureen Ponce : How can we order? 11:17:09 From Bill Marchione : I would like a t-shirt. 11:17:14 From Tracey : Great idea to sell online. 11:17:35 From Marian Hoyt : Yes! I want a 1/4" zip and a black t-shirt for sure 11:17:35 From Bill Marchione : we had online at one point, but it was through a service 11:17:47 From Edward Reed : 2xl t-shirt for me 11:19:20 From Marian Hoyt : Special shout out to Alexis! You've been such a great rep, especially getting membership emails out to your region in a timely manner. 11:20:45 From Alexis Thompson : Yeah that’s something I would be interested in 11:21:02 From Alexis Thompson : Especially working as a team - it does seem like a lot to take on as just one person 11:25:44 From Holly Kleiderlein : Thank you so much for letting us know what's happening! 11:32:36 From Marian Hoyt : Speaking of a resource bank, did we want to discuss how it would look, where it is, etc.? We have the Members Only page, so that makes sense to post there, but would it be smart to have three Google Docs/other platform (one for each level)? We could include resources helpful for each level, including how to talk about race and racial inequality. Or even have a whole separate link for these resources 11:32:56 From Maureen Ponce : Are we having a retreat this summer?? 11:39:56 From Marian Hoyt : Hahah. I'm able to click on the tab and then click on the specific resource I'm looking for 11:40:46 From Marian Hoyt : I think Baltimore County does too 11:41:07 From Laura Jones : Frederick County has a very active county association
