The email will include such items as renewal notices, supervisor/supervisee agreement, day to day information sharing as well as other important information. To insure that you receive these important communications, please add the board email address (info@lpc.ms.gov) to your email “white list” so they will not be put in your spam/junk folder.
If you are a Licensed Professional Counselor, you can login and make updates to your profile information, view/update continuing education hours, renew license if all requirements are met, prepare BQS supervisor log for supervisee or have supervisee prepare and submit to you to affirm, and so much more.

- Para. 4.4, A, 13: "At the beginning of a supervision relationship, supervisors shall submit to the Board a signed contract or agreement between each active supervisee and supervisor that states requirements of each party. Academic supervisors are exempt from this requirement."
