IECA Fall Conference- Atlanta

By DEC Network On November 8, 2012 · Add Comment

The Independent Educational Consultants Association (IECA-www.iecaonline.com) kicked off our fall conference yesterday in Atlanta, Georgia. Over the next several days, we’ll take advantage of the tremendous networking opportunities with admissions officers and colleagues from all over the country. In addition, several educational sessions are available to enhance our student advisement on such topics as college majors, scholarships, financial aid, woman’s colleges, high school research, and so much more. In the spirit of our conference location, we have visited the campuses of Emory, University of Georgia, Georgia Tech, Agnes Scott, Spelman, and Morehouse. We have also sat in on presentations by other southeast colleges such as Auburn University, College of Charleston, Hendrix College, Loyola University and more. We will return from Atlanta with stronger admissions relationships, updates on admissions statistics, and some great feedback from our college visits and discussions. Interested in any of these schools? Make sure to contact us.

“Debbie’s upbeat and encouraging manner combined with her thorough analysis of the student and her knowledge of the schools results in a list of college choices that are the best fits. The final result for my daughter — a clean sweep of acceptances from every college she applied to!”

“Hey Ms. Davis, I got into college with a Presidential Scholarship last night! I hear about the Honors program and the 5 year MBA in March. Thanks so much for everything you did for me. I really appreciate it.”

“Your expertise, diligent support, consistent follow-through, and careful attention to our son’s individual profile, style, strengths, and needs were pivotal to keeping progress on track. I am very confident in his bright future and want you to know that you have our gratitude for your part in supporting his success.”

“I hope your ears have been ringing as I sing your praises! You have been so helpful and encouraging throughout our daughter’s college search and decision making process. Thank you for helping to make it as stress free as it could have been. Your advice at critical junctures along the way made a big difference.”

“Debbie has been a tremendous help throughout my search for employment. She advises on all aspects of the job search process from cover letter, to resume, to interviewing skills to correspondence etiquette. She stresses the importance of organization, positive attitude and endless commitment. Debbie is a great mentor and I am extremely appreciative of everything she has done to help me with my job search.”

“I have to tell you, working with you has been so inspiring. I’m transitioning back into the working world (I am interviewing now) and watching your energy and how you run your business makes me so excited to jump back in. Thanks again for all of your compassion with the kids, your enthusiasm, and expertise.”

“You are truly the best and most supportive career and college mentor out there. Every single involvement with our kids is the most positive and supportive possible- you help me be a better parent.”

“We cannot thank you enough for guiding our child and us through one of the most important exercises in her life, and teaching her the importance of preparation. Many thanks also for your warm personal focus and outstanding professionalism.”

“I committed to college today! The campus was absolutely gorgeous, the dorms were incredibly impressive, I love the atmosphere and environment of the school and was just overwhelmed with everything they offered. Thank you so much for all of the help you’ve been over the past year. I’m so happy with where I’m ending up and really appreciate everything you’ve done.”

“I truly felt that you treated my daughter as your own child, ascertaining every step of the way what the right course of action would be for her and where she would be happiest. Something that at first seemed daunting gradually unfolded into a fun adventure. We are left with wonderful memories and a very exciting future.”

“Debbie Davis was exceptionally helpful to me in my college search process. She made me feel like the most important client of hers despite having other students in the same position as me. I went into the process confused and worried about my future and came out prepared and accepted into college. I wish everyone who is going through the college process could have Mrs. Davis as their college advisor.”

“Thank you for the beautiful, encouraging note you sent. I don’t know if you do that kind of thing for all of your students, but it is an outstanding touch and I applaud your style!”

“Our experience with Debbie Davis was one of total satisfaction. She spent hours explaining to us every facet of the college search. Her attention to detail, her positive and enthusiastic personality, and her accurate knowledge of her business is impressive.”

“We worked with Debbie to guide us through the college review, selection and application process for our son. We could not have been happier. She established and kept us on a proactive and tight timeline resulting in completion of the process well in advance, relieving us of most of the turmoil, anxiety and stress associated with launching a child into college. She is now guiding our second through the journey.”

“Our son really respects and values your opinions, and you have been so good about empowering him and making the final decision his own. He is thrilled about his offer which he accepted yesterday; his top choice. I want you to know how grateful we are to you. You have been a crucial part of our boys’ lives.”

“Thank you for all you do for our family. Your support, professionalism, positive attitude and many, many hours of work have helped us all so much. Your efforts will continue to make such a difference in our lives for a long, long time.”

“With the help of Debbie Davis, I was able to narrow down a college list that included schools I hadn’t thought of applying to before, draft sincere college essays that were representative of my life experiences and plans, and, ultimately, get into my dream school. I am happier than ever with my college choice, and that is all thanks to Debbie Davis. Thank you, Debbie, for changing my life!”

“You listened, customized your responses to meet my needs and checked in with me to make sure that you understood what I was saying and that I understood what you were suggesting. You made a chore and fear of the unknown into something positive.”

“There are questions that come up every day, (it seems), and it calms me to know you are always there for me. Your support of the boys runs deep- your positive and fun attitude- your cards- your expertise- and now your true interest in their future. I am grateful for all you do for us.”

“Your support of the boys runs deep- your positive and fun attitude, your cards, your expertise- and now your true interest in their future. I am grateful for all you do for us.”
