A Message From Our President

Dear PCACAC Community:

As President of the Potomac and Chesapeake Association for College Admission Counseling (PCACAC), I want to reaffirm our commitment to our members, students, and the communities we serve. PCACAC is a 501(c)(3) organization, and as such, we are legally prohibited from endorsing political candidates or taking political sides. Our mission is to support all those we serve in a way that is inclusive, impartial, and beneficial to the growth and advancement of students and educational professionals alike. 

As an immigrant, HBCU graduate, and Black woman, I hold community, inclusion, and equity close to my heart. My lived experience and commitment to being a resource for historically underserved populations fuel my passion and dedication to this work. I want each of you to know that I am, and will continue to be, here to support our community.

The entire PCACAC Board shares this commitment. Together, we will continue the important work we have been doing for our members, staff, students, and community. We are dedicated to maintaining an environment that serves everyone with fairness, integrity, and respect. Thank you for being a part of PCACAC and for your unwavering commitment to educational access and success.
