Upcoming GRC Town Halls & GRC Meetings
Town Halls
These are public meetings where professional counselors can gather to discuss updates with the GRC, OCA Lobbyists, and ongoing legislation that impact the profession. We try to host these quarterly throughout the year (including our fall meeting at the annual All Ohio Counselor's Conference). During each meeting, we schedule the next town hall for approximately 90 days.
Current Town Hall Schedule:
All Ohio Sessions:
Be on the lookout for our next town hall in approximately February.
Monthly GRC Meetings
The Government Relations Committee meets once a month to discuss ongoing advocacy and legislative efforts. The monthly meeting is restricted (for now) to include OCA members who are participating on an existing division/chapter/etc. Most of these divisions and chapters will select one of their members to represent the group on the GRC as a liaison that will pass information back and forth.
