Sustainable NACADA Leadership Committee

Mission

The Committee on Sustainable NACADA Leadership is charged with identifying, developing, and sustaining NACADA leadership to ensure the future of the association and develop members' leadership potential. Through collaboration with the EO and other NACADA constituents, the Committee is responsible for strategizing, recommending, and implementing ways to identify potential NACADA leaders and educate them about leadership pathways within the Association.

Function

The Committee will identify gaps and recommend professional development activities and opportunities to embody leadership qualities in its members, values, materials, practices, and governance.

Membership

Committee members serve a two-year term and meet yearly at the NACADA annual conference. What does it mean to be a member? What are the benefits, rewards, and commitments levels? Who are the people I could meet and connect with and when and where will those connections happen?
