PAST WHO'S WHO IN MVCA
In the early 1960's a group of school counselors met
periodically at the Montgomery County Board of Education office to share
information from the State Department of Education relevant to counseling.
From that group, several counselors felt a need to expand and provide a
professional sharing opportunity to all counselors. Thus was formed the
Miami Valley Personnel and Guidance Association. Julia Tieman,
a school counselor, served as the association's first President and other
early leaders included Helen Kovacs and Carolyn McAngel.
Anyone interested in advancing the discipline of counseling and human
development was invited to join. The group was a Chapter within the Ohio
Personnel and Guidance Association. Dues were minimal ($3.00 per year), and
programming efforts consisted of dinner meetings with speakers, social
hours and a lively newsletter. In those days, counselors had limited
opportunities for networking and this group served a very useful purpose.
When the American Personnel and Guidance Association changed its name, so
did state and local groups, and we became the Miami Valley Association for
Counseling and Development. A few years later, another change resulted in
our current name, the Miami Valley Counseling Association.
