Benefits of A NAACO MembershipAs a NAACO member you can expand your knowledge of graduation planning, connect to and interact with your peers, share best practices, and learn about vendors unique to the industry. NAACO members also enjoy the following benefits:
Professional EducationFounded in 2001 by and for commencement planners, NAACO has helped hundreds of commencement and graduation professionals expand their skills in the following areas:
The Science and Art of Commencement PlanningCreating an efficient, memorable, problem-free graduation ceremony is both a science and an art. The science involves managing the thousands of details involved in planning even the smallest commencement ceremony, a continuing challenge for the most seasoned planner. The art comes with setting a certain tone and feel for the event, one that leaves graduates and their guests feeling as if they have just taken part in one of the most meaningful ceremonies of their lives. Adding to this challenge is the fact that most college and university commencement planners are flying solo; they have no colleagues on their campuses with whom to consult. That's where the North American Association of Commencement Officers (NAACO) can help. What's the difference between being a "member" and being an "affiliate?"Simply that "members" are Colleges and Universities; "affiliates" are the people who have commencement or convocation responsibilities at those institutions. The more formal statement goes this way: Membership in NAACO is open to post-secondary institutions that handle graduation and commencement ceremonies. Any number of individuals involved with commencement activities at member institutions are eligible to be affiliate members (without additional fees). That's designed to make it easy for those involved in graduation activities to participate in the association. To become a New Member or an Affiliate (of a paid institutional member) or you can also contact for more information. |
