β¦ Synopsis
The author selected information from personal archival files to remind and encourage readers to celebrate the American Counseling Association's (ACA) 50 years of service to the counseling profession. In a survey of ACA's history, the author notes that its presidents were a key to the organizational growth of ACA and acknowledges that during the first half century, each incoming president was dependent on the combined commitment, dedication, foresight, wisdom, and professionalization efforts of numerous members who volunteered or were chosen to share responsibility for the association's progress.
