"We (Cassie Storlie and Barbara Herlihy), as the co-editors of this book, welcome you to Counseling Leaders and Advocates: Strengthening the Future of our Profession! As professional counselors, we are naturally drawn to and curious about the stories of our clients. Our curiosity allows us to delve into their worldviews and provides an avenue to better understand how to advocate with and for them. In a parallel way, each of us engages in a form of leadership known as "servant leadership" by ensuring that service is central to the counseling profession and that the needs of others come first (Greenleaf, 1970). This servant leadership philosophy, which is congruent with the founding principles of counseling, fueled our own curiosity about the stories of our current counseling leaders. How do their unique stories help us better understand diverse worldviews and the future of leadership and advocacy in the counseling profession? Although in Chapter One we provide more detailed information about the organization of the book, Part II, which presents the stories of 13 selected leaders/advocates, is truly the heart of this work. We are excited to offer this book and hope you will find it enjoyable and instructive. For us, serving as co-editors for this work has truly been a labor of love"--

Social/political or legislative professional advocacy is vital for growth of the counseling profession. However, knowledge regarding social/political professional advocacy is limited by a lack of empirical evidence. The purpose of this constructivist grounded theory study was to explain the process of social/political professional advocacy for counseling leaders. The research question guiding this study was what is the process of social/political professional advocacy for counseling leaders? Constructivist grounded theory (Charmaz, 2014) was used to analyze fifteen semi-structured interviews with professional counselors who engaged in leadership related to social/political professional advocacy. During analysis, four major themes emerged, Connection to Personal and Professional Identity, Use of Personal and Professional Community, Making it your Own, and Picking your Battles. Findings suggested that the legislative professional advocacy process involved three tiers Advocacy Catalyst, Advocacy Action, and Advocacy Training. The Advocacy Catalyst provided connection to the advocacy need. Advocacy Action, involved ways that advocates acted upon advocacy by picking battles and making it their own. Advocacy Training provided participants with support and knowledge to apply to their Advocacy Action. In addition, using an aggregate of the participants' own perspective and experience, a definition of legislative professional advocacy was proposed. Based on these findings, implications for counselor education programs and professional organizations and recommendations for future research were provided.
