Counselor of the Year Gail Laferriere, North Idaho College Career Services assistant director, was named the 2013 Counselor of the Year by the Idaho Counseling Association. Laferriere was presented the award at the ICA annual conference in January of 2013. The ICA award is given to one person each year who exemplifies the model of an ideal counselor with the recipient demonstrating excellent rapport with clients, counselors, and coworkers. Laferriere has worked at NIC for 19 years. When she first moved to Idaho in 1993, NIC had no Career Center, so she began the process of creating and developing the career development program and center in 1994. That program has been lauded as the best in the state and region.
