The Texas Career Development Association is inviting you to participate in this year's 2009-2010 NCDA Poetry & Poster Contest. If your services as a Counselor touch on career related issues you may want to have your campus participate in the contest. It is a creative marketing tool to reach out to students and network with Instructors on your campus. See information below for more details. I also include a web link to the NCDA website about the contest.
