The 2010 conference will be held on Thursday, December 2 and Friday, December 3 at the Embassy Suites in Loveland—reserve your room at a special low rate ($75) before November 2 or until the Council group block is sold-out, whichever comes first.
The Annual Conference is a two-day professional development event held on the first Thursday and Friday in December each year. It provides a forum for the annual business meeting, a stimulating and diverse interest session relevant to our profession, and recognizes the contributions of individual members at a special luncheon. The event also includes pre-conference sessions for new attendees, keynote speakers, vendor displays, and entertainment on Thursday evenings.
Now you can download presentations, handouts, and other resources from many of the 2009 Annual Conference breakout sessions.

Graduate credit and workshops are possible thanks to collaboration with two other not-for-profit organizations, The Professional Development Institute (PDI) and Rocky Mountain Association of College Admission Counseling (RMACAC), both of whom support the professional development of high school counselors.
There are two ways to gain credit for the December Annual Conference and the Fall Counselor Workshops of the Colorado Council on High School/College Relations:
In-service/Professional Development Credit (No charge) One-half credit is given for attendance at one day of the Fall Counselor Workshops. Similarly, 1/2 credit is given for attendance at one day of the December Annual Conference. At the end of each day, the attendee completes a form with name, school, address and email. A certificate is produced after the completion of each day and mailed to the attendee.
Adams State College Credit ($ Fee) One college credit through Adams State College is given to attendees of one day of the Fall Counselor Workshops AND one day of the December Annual Conference, OR two days of the December Annual Conference. At the end of the December conference, the attendee completes the Adams State College registration form, pays a fee (check or credit card) and receives instructions on writing a 2-page reaction paper. Once papers are received and graded by the instructor, a grade list is mailed to Adams State where proper credit is assigned. Transcript requests can be made to Adams State.
