Do you know someone who deserves to be named Iowa’s 2015 School Counselor of the Year? 
Think of a counseling colleague… someone with whom you work, from whom you find support, whose counseling program supports the ASCA standards, who goes that extra mile to support students, who makes a true difference and is a credit to the school counseling profession. Doesn’t this individual deserve state-wide recognition by his/her peers?!?
