REGIONAL MEETINGS

CONNECT WITH NEIGHBORING
INSTITUTIONS

Have you been looking for professional development opportunities in your geographic area that address your unique concerns as a commencement/convocation organizer? Regional meetings are one-day events hosted throughout the year by NAACO members with support from the Board. Through roundtable discussions and presentations these meetings offer opportunities for networking with neighboring institutions where convocation/commencement professionals pose questions, brainstorm solutions and share best practices with fellow NAACO members.

Please note that until further notice, all regional meetings will be held in a virtual environment. We look forward to holding these events in person as soon as it is safe to do so. If you are interested in hosting a meeting, please click the “Apply Now” button below to learn more about how NAACO Headquarters can help support your regional event.

NAACO Code of Conduct
The NAACO Board has approved a new code of conduct for all meetings both virtual and in person. Please view the code here.
