… I attended my first NACADA conference in San Antonio, and I thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. From informative and eye-opening pre-conference workshops to fabulous presentation sessions, from morning breakfast poster sessions to afternoon regional networking opportunities, I found the conference and the opportunities therein to be helpful, informative, and very enlightening … I can’t wait until next year for both my region’s conference as well as the national conference. Thank you so much for all of the hard work and effort that was put into the conference. I may have had a NACADA membership before I attended, but the national conference has made me a fan and proponent of NACADA.

There is little more rewarding than presenting at a Annual NACADA conference. Not only do I benefit from the research and work of putting together the presentation, but I also enjoy the experience of passing that information along and learn tremendous amounts from the conference participants who attend my session. It's a great feeling to know that the work that you do is appreciated and the information that you present is valued and valuable. I highly recommend presenting to everyone that I meet - present alone, present on a panel, - just get out there and share your ideas!
