GPACAC supports college admission and counseling professionals through advocacy, education, and ethical practices with the goal of access for all students as they pursue post-secondary opportunities.
GPACAC strives to create an inclusive community of professionals who provide ethical guidance as we collectively support students as they realize their full potential.
In 1966, Great Plains was formed with Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota and North Dakota. Texas formed its own affiliate (TACAC) in October of 1979. In the Spring of 1993, North Dakota and South Dakota formed their own affiliate, DACAC. GPACAC is now comprised of members and member institutions in Kansas, Nebraska, and Oklahoma, as well as affiliate members who work with students in our tri-state region.
GPACAC leadership is made up of thirteen Executive Board members and a six-member Executive Leadership Team who are voted on by GPACAC members. To see the leadership directory for GPACAC, click below.
