This committee of about 5 people will work with Executive Directors John Tucker and Mark Zanchelli to select topics and presenters for next summer's conference.  After first brainstorming by email, the committee will meet in the fall--either in person (at NAACA's expense) or virtually--for a full-day planning session.  Although we know emergencies can't be avoided, committee participants should be people who expect to attend the next conference (assuming we are able to meet) in order to welcome, introduce, and thank their assigned speakers.

This committee will work with our Executive Directors to plan and coordinate activities for the next in-person Educational Conference.  Typical events include evening social activities (i.e., opening night "bingo" mixer, quirky t-shirt reception).  The committee also sometimes coordinates group attendance for local events during or after the conference (i.e., professional baseball games, horse races, wine tasting).  The social committee will also be encouraged to brainstorm options for virtual events to take place throughout the year.

This committee of about 5 people will help identify and gather information about potential sites for the conference to be held two years from now.  Focus in a given year involves either a particular geographic area or a specific list of cities provided to the committee.  Committee activities take place primarily in the fall.

Want to share your enthusiasm about NAACA with others?  Traditionally chaired by NAACA's Vice President, this committee helps conduct our Annual Membership Drive.  Efforts usually focus on making email contact with prior members who have not yet rejoined for the year or who may have been inactive for a period of time.  Committee activities take place mostly in the fall.

Want to be a published author under your own byline or help in some other way?  This committee is responsible for NAACA's quarterly digital newsletter as well as for the more frequent judicial news updates (emails containing links to articles about both substantive legal issues and quirky law-adjacent topics).  We need writers, proofreaders, coordinators, and desktop publishers.

Although prior activities have focused mainly on simply updating the basic information on our website when Board composition and Conference offerings change, we also hope to expand the functionality of the website.  If you have current programming experience, we particularly need you.  We may also need graphic design assistance.
