Welcome

Greetings from the NJNY ACRAO President

During these unprecedented times, we hope you and your families are doing well. For those who have lost loved ones, our thoughts and prayers are with you.  We hope you are surrounded by much love and support.

As we begin to adjust to getting back to a normal life, we are enthusiastically looking forward to the Spring 2023 conference.  Traditionally, our conference is a day filled with innovative sessions geared towards expanding our foundation in Higher Education via new skills/technology, personal development and networking. This year we will continue to offer a conference providing our colleagues with the most current and up to date professional development opportunities.

As the President of NJ-NY ACRAO, I look forward to welcoming you to our Spring 2023 conference, and to completing the process of transition as we get ready for the 2023-2024 academic year.

Finally, we want to encourage the new members of our profession to join us for the conferences, think about presenting, joining the steering committee.  The way to make our organization grow and prosper is by bringing in new people.   NJNYACRAO is still the best opportunity to get high quality professional development activities at a reasonable cost.

Look forward to seeing you at the next conference!

Chenelle Smith – NJ-NY ACRAO President
