Explore the key benefits of membership below.
Annual Conference
A cornerstone of NACCAP membership, the Annual Conference offers professional development, spiritual encouragement and peer connections. Held in late May or early June on a NACCAP member college campus, this event is consistently rated as a highlight of the year by attendees.
The annual conference brings members together for a time of professional development, networking, and fellowship. Our breakout sessions are a great opportunity to consider best practices, discuss innovative ideas and share industry research as a way to encourage our members. The conference schedule is full of opportunities for team bonding, connecting with colleagues, and spiritual encouragement. These conferences are a cornerstone of NACCAP and are consistently viewed as a highlight of NACCAP membership.
