If you have an idea that you think would make an engaging and informative on-demand webinar, you are encouraged to complete the form and submit for consideration. The videos will be posted on the Region 9 website and constitute an “on demand” professional development library that Region 9 NACADA members can access initially, with content later becoming accessible to all NACADA members after a specified period of time.

2019 Region 9 & 10 Conference Summary

Mahalo (thank you) for joining us at the 2019 NACADA Region 9 & 10 Conference! We hope you enjoyed yourselves and were able to bring a little bit of aloha back to your campus.

Session handouts and presentations are available online at nacada2019.wixsite.com/r9-10conference. (Password: nacada2019). If you have any pictures you'd like to share, please upload them to the Whova App. This event will remain active on Whova for six months, so please continue to network and reminisce about your time in Hawai`i.

In your conference bag, you received a few mango ducks. As we prepare for the registration season, we hope they remind you to be like a duck - let your students see your welcoming and warm face on the outside, but paddle and work hard on the inside. We hope you enjoyed this years conference and can't wait to see you next year!
