Thank You Annual Conference Program Committee!
NACUA wishes to recognize the commitment and efforts of the members of the 2024 Committee on Program for the Annual Conference. Their volunteer service over the past year resulted in the relevant and informative sessions that will aid NACUA members in the practice of higher education law for the benefit of the colleges and universities they serve. We believe that the members of the Program Committee exemplified the NACUA core values of quality, service, civility, collegiality, diversity, inclusiveness, and respect. We hope you will join us in thanking them for their service!
