Serving NCRE as a Board or Executive Board member is a great honor and a chance to positively contribute to shaping the future of rehabilitation education and the rehabilitation counseling profession. Our profession is facing a number of crossroads with regard to such areas as licensure, accreditation, evidence-based practice, federal funding, professional identity, and organizational collaboration.
Your work as an Executive Board Member, Regional Representative, International or Student Representative will give you a chance to influence decisions made in these areas. We strongly encourage you to apply.
