NEXT 
Application deadline is February 12, 2025


A few years ago, following the report and recommendations of the Ad Hoc Committee on Reimagining the NACAC-Affiliate Partnership, the NACAC Board of Directors approved moving forward with bylaws amendments to remove reference to the national delegates/Assembly as a part of the association’s governance structure. In recognizing the important professional development afforded by the role of delegate, the NACAC board asked staff to develop a new program to build the leadership capacity of next-generation affiliate leaders, and provide value for participants, their respective employers, affiliates, and NACAC.

NEXT! A Leadership Development Opportunity from NACAC

NEXT is a one-year program. Each year, a cohort of participants will convene in-person on Thursday morning during the NACAC Conference. NEXT participants will have the opportunity to join virtual quarterly sessions throughout the year focused on leadership topics, presented by NACAC staff and volunteer leaders.

PACAC can nominate up to three individuals for this program. They should be early to mid-career professionals who are also NACAC members. Soon, we will send out an email with more details about the program and also instructions for applying. Stay tuned!!

You may nominate yourself for this opportunity or you may nominate another individual with their permission. We will review all applications equally. Criteria to be chosen:

  • Each participant must be a NACAC member.

  • Each participant should be an early- to mid-career professional.

  • Each participant must be a member of a PACAC committee.

  • Attendance at the in-person NEXT Session during the NACAC conference in Columbus (September 2025) strongly desired.

  • Having institutional support to attend this session and attend virtual sessions during the year is necessary. 

  • Limited financial support from PACAC may be available.

 

Application for 2025 is now closed.
