NACADA Membership Recruitment & Retention Committee

Membership Recruitment and Retention Committee

Mission: The Membership Recruitment and Retention Committee will build and retain membership through effective recruitment activities – with specific focus on prospective members and new members during the first two-years of NACADA membership – as well as reviewing and recommending policies, procedures, and strategies for maintaining and enhancing membership.

The Committee will serve NACADA through:

Fostering prospective members knowledge and involvement with the academic advising profession and the association
Connecting new members with the association in both the first and second year of membership
Working with the NACADA Leadership and the Executive Office to review, recommend, and develop general policies, procedures, and strategies for recruiting and enhancing the membership of the association.

How to Get Involved:

Anyone interested in the work of the MRRC Committee is welcome to attend the committee’s business meeting at NACADA’s annual conference each year. If you’re unable to attend and want more information on the committee and our current projects, please contact the MRRC Chair. Committee members are appointed to serve two-year terms and there are no specific professional requirements individuals must possess to be appointed to the committee. Consideration will be given to ensure the committee is diverse in representation whether it be institutional type and/or positions held in higher education.
