Strategic Plan Coming Soon: A Message from NAEA President Cindy Todd
Lord Cultural Resources began collaborating with NAEA on updating the Strategic Plan in summer 2024. Lord processed the results of more than 800-member engagement touchpoints, including listening sessions with members at large, the Delegates Assembly, Research Commission, ED&I Commission, and Board of Directors, as well as a survey completed by over 450 members. We are utilizing their collected data and recommendations as a rich foundation in our planning.
You Belong Here: A Message from NAEA Executive Director Laura L. Lott
Every August, our house runs through the same ritual. As the first day of school quickly approaches, my daughter chooses a new backpack, rummages through the school supply aisle to find the perfect notebook, and then piles it all on the kitchen table to make sure we have everything on the supply list. She is 13 now, and I still love this tradition, even as she rolls her eyes at me through most of it.
