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.

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 is excited to support connection and collaboration within our counseling community by offering sponsorship funding for local (WA state) counselor networking events. If you or your organization is planning an event and would like WMHCA to provide financial sponsorship, we invite you to apply for consideration. 

Sponsorships are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. To be eligible, please submit a completed Sponsorship Application at least 60 days prior to your event. Funding decisions are made by the Membership Engagement and Outreach Committee, which meets monthly, typically at noon on the first Tuesday.

We’re proud to invest in opportunities that bring counselors together, strengthen professional relationships, and support our statewide community. We encourage you to reach out and apply!

    WMHCA Member Day at the Reign FC Game

    WMHCA Member Day at the Seattle Reign Women's Soccer game! August 14th, 2026 at 7 pm. Watch the Seattle Reign FC take on the Chicago Stars FC at 7 pm and connect with colleagues in the counseling field!

    WMHCA believes that all forms of injustice are interconnected and social justice is an essential aspect of wellness. That belief doesn't just live in our policy statements — it should show up in how we engage our members and what organizations we choose to stand alongside. Reign FC is one of those organizations.

    Women's professional soccer, and Reign FC in particular, is built on the same values WMHCA champions. The NWSL and its clubs have long been at the forefront of advocating for gender equity, racial justice, and LGBTQ+ inclusion — not as add-ons, but as core to the game's identity. Reign FC has actively used their platform to advance health equity and break down barriers to wellbeing, and to shine a light on mental health stigma and encourage open, honest conversations about care. They've also committed to community investment in underserved areas, using soccer as a vehicle to support learning and social-emotional wellness for youth in marginalized and under-resourced communities.

    By attending the game WMHCA members are showing up for an organization that shares our commitment to dismantling systems of oppression, uplifting marginalized communities, and centering mental and community health in everything they do.

    A Reign FC WMHCA Member Day is more than a fun outing. It's an opportunity to put our JEDI values into action, celebrate an organization whose mission echoes our own, and remind our members that the work of justice and healing extends beyond the therapy room — and sometimes, that's exactly where community is built.
