IACAC Executive Board Meeting
HIGHLIGHTS and MOTIONS
Monday, September 9, 2019
Illinois State University

HIGHLIGHTS

• Treasurer: The finance committee continues to complete a thorough review of the fiscal policy.
• Chief Delegate: NACAC has been cooperating with the Department of Justice to review the Code of Ethics and Professional Practices document for nearly two years. They’re requesting that NACAC remove three provisions from its code of ethics to comply with antitrust laws.  NACAC members will vote at the annual conference on whether to remove the three ethical provisions from its professional guidelines. There is a revised NACAC membership model which provides more opportunities to join NACAC.
• President elect: The IACAC annual conference is scheduled for April 22-24, 2020.  The conference committee will continue to take into consideration how to ensure that counselors from different parts of the state have access and opportunity to attend conference.
• Past President: The credentials and nominations committee is being formed and will meet in January.  The Leadership Manual will be updated by the start of the new fiscal year.
