Connect & Network

Committees

Members have an opportunity to lead the overall actions and activities of NCRPA through service on a committee. From awards and professional development, to advocacy and DEI, there are so many ways to get involved! 

Advisory Groups

 These groups are a great way to further your involvement in NCRPA and influence professional development opportunities. Advisors offer suggestions on speakers and workshop agendas, recruit participants, and help to facilitate the day-of activities of each workshop.

Network at Workshops

Along with being first class educational experiences, NCRPA Workshops are an excellent place to connect with colleagues doing similar work across the region.
