Budget Message The budget information submitted as part of the report for the LPC Board includes revenue associated with PLMFTs and LMFTs.

Please be advised that the budget information submitted as part of the report for the LPC Board includes revenue and expenses associated with PLPCs, LPCs, PLMFTs and LMFTs. The Marriage and Family Therapy Advisory Committee's (MFTAC) budget is part of the LPC Board budget. The application numbers vary year over year due mostly to renewal applications. Renewals for licensees are every two years. The Board Member travel expenses reported herein are reflective of all Board Members as the members of the MFTAC are also full, voting members of the LPC Board.
