Membership Engagement AND OutReach Committee (MEOC)

Committee Mission Statement


The membership engagement and outreach committee serves to recruit and retain a diverse professional community. We strive for WMHCA to be a sustainable anti-racist organization via inclusive representation of all clinical mental health counselors and allied professionals. Our ultimate goal is community building through invitation and intentional outreach. We act as a conduit to amplify member voices and provide accessibility to the profession and organization.

Chair: Robyn Hansen LMHC, CTP

Committee Purpose

The membership committee is currently recruiting new members. The focus of the committee is to continue to grow membership, and to make sure all members have access to benefits.  The committee wants to make sure members feel supported, heard, and have the resources they need. The committee also is responsible for deciding what organizations WMHCA sponsors, and for exploring ongoing partnerships with other organizations. 

Sponsorship Opportunities

WMHCA offers sponsorship funds to organizations on a case by case basis.  If you have an event you’d like WMHCA to financially sponsor, please fill out the Sponsorship Application 90 days before your event.  Sponsorship decisions are made during our Membership Engagement and Outreach Committee meetings which typically occur at noon on the first Tuesday of every month.

    The Washington Mental Health Counselors Association is continuing to provide scholarships for students in their journey through graduate school.  We recognize entering the mental health field has significant barriers for some students and choosing to enter the counseling profession takes a substantial amount of strength and courage.  At this time we are forming a task force to review scholarship applications and select recipients. We are particularly interested in having a diverse committee and encourage clinicians of historically marginalized identities including BIPOC, disability, LGBTGEQIAP+, and others to apply.  Please RSVP with the meeting link below to be part of the task force.
