This commission is one of NACADA's largest with over 1600 members. The purpose is to provide members with a network for discussing advisor training and development issues. It also suggests projects to the NACADA Commission & Interest Group Division Representatives and to the Board. Past projects include a 2003 Monograph “Advisor Training: Exemplary Practices in the Development of Advisor Skills” and the highly successful NACADA advisor training video.

 

Current goals for the commission include developing standards for advisor training, assisting with an update of the NACADA advisor training video, encouraging commission members to present workshops and roundtables about advisor training and development at the state, regional and national conferences, and further developing a commission web site that can be a resource for training and development.
