WELCOME

Welcome to the Missouri Career Development Association!

I am deeply honored to welcome you to a space created with intention, care, and the shared belief that career development changes lives. Whether you are a career practitioner, educator, student, employer, or simply someone passionate about growth and possibility-you belong here.

MoCDA is more than an association. It is a vibrant, inclusive community of thought leaders, change-makers, and everyday champions of purpose-driven work. In today’s fast-paced and often fragmented world, we are committed to fostering genuine connections, empowering people at every state of their career journey, and embracing the transformative potential of innovation-including the responsible use of AI in our profession.

We believe that when we come together in spaces rooted in respect, learning, and imagination, we unlock the kind of professional growth that is both sustainable and human-centered.

I want you to know this: Your presence here matters. You are welcome. You are seen. And you have chosen a community that is committed to growing with you.

I invite you to explore, engage, and reach out. Join us in building a MoCDA that reflects the brilliance, compassion, and courage of our collective work.

With gratitude and enthusiasm,


Goldie Gildenhaus

President, Missouri Career Development Association
