I am also a leader in my profession. As a former Vice President and member of the Board of Directors of the leading professional association, the Independent Educational Consultants Association (IECA), I’ve been on the frontlines of developing the highest ethical standards and best practices for our profession. For the past decade, I have been honored to serve as one of eight faculty members at IECA’s Summer Training Institute – the gateway “boot camp” for Independent Educational Consultants in the US. For seven years, I also served as a faculty instructor for the University of California, Irvine’s Certificate program for Independent Educational Consultants. I’ve taught hundreds of people who have subsequently become successful Independent Educational Consultants.
