Message from the President and Executive Director: Highlights of NAADAC's Four Pillars
Price: Education is FREE to all professionals
Description: In March 2010, the NAADAC Executive Committee met to discuss NAADAC and its role in supporting its members and the profession. The Committee took a basic look at our Association and its fundamentals: who we are, what we do and how we do it.
What emerged from their discussions was a determination to focus on four major areas, or "four pillars," of outreach in order to strengthen and improve our Association. Simply put, these Four Pillars are essential roles and reasons for NAADAC to exist.
- Professional Development
- Public Engagement
- Professional Services
- Communicate the Mission
In this webinar, NAADAC's President and Executive Director will update you on the Association's advancements, current projects and goals for the future.
