    Join NCA in Chicago!

    Greetings and welcome to the website for the NCA 95th Annual Convention in Chicago! You will find information on over 1,200 programs, registration, hotel, and the city. Check out the many special events awaiting you.

     

    New features of this year’s convention will help you connect with senior scholars, peers and friends--old and new--in one-on-one interaction. So whether you are a newcomer to NCA, a student, a practicing professional or a long-time member we hope you’ll join us in this great city in November.

     

    My Chicago Cubs may not make it to the World Series this year (again), but we will have a great time in Chicago!

    -Dawn O. Braithwaite, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, NCA First Vice President
