Message From the Co-chairs
Dear NASPA Mid-level Administrators,
The NASPA's Mid-level Administrators Steering Committee helps shape the ongoing development of NASPA’s mid-level initiatives to meet the needs of this critical community of members. We work to ensure that mid-level relevant programs are offered across the association’s programs, events, and services.
The Steering Committee strives to encourage excellence in mid-level positions through professional development, knowledge creation and sharing, networking opportunities, and recognition aimed at the roles of mid-level administrators. We invite you to explore our events and programming, membership and resources on our Mid-level Administrators Steering Committee website.
We are ecstatic to join our colleagues at the 2023 NASPA Annual Conference in Boston in the upcoming weeks. If you haven’t done so, take some time to review the full Annual Conference schedule.
We also invite you to engage and participate in our upcoming virtual town hall meeting on Thursday, April 13, at 12:00 PM ET to learn more about the priorities, opportunities, and programming for mid-level professionals. Stay tuned for more details in the coming weeks.
Finally, if you are looking for a conference that is targeted to mid-level administrators, join us at the 2023 Mid-level Administrators Conference from June 11-13 in Kansas City, MO.
We look forward to seeing many of you in Boston. Please feel free to reach out to the Mid-level Administrators Steering Committee Co-Chairs with any questions.
With Gratitude,
