Governors Institute does a PHENOMENAL job at supporting developing professionals. Through out my education and as a new LCAS, I have been afforded opportunities that were otherwise not accessible for me.

The Governor's Institute is providing access to great education for therapists in North Carolina. I was fortunate to receive a scholarship from the Governor's Institute to the NCFADS winter School in Greensboro in February.
