 A Message from our President
Happy New Year! We have much to look forward to in 2023. In April we will gather for our 58th annual PCACAC Conference at the Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay Golf Resort, Spa and Marina where we will celebrate our successes and put our heads together to meet the challenges of our important work in college admissions. Registration is open now--we anticipate the conference to sell out. Please don’t delay in registering and making your room reservations--once our hotel room block ($132/night) is fully booked, standard hotel rates apply. Join us in Cambridge, April 2-4, as we #Recreate & #Reimagine.
Our Leadership Education Webinar series is in full swing. Please consider attending the upcoming sessions on January 19, 4:00 pm (learn more about NACAC/PCACAC Organizational Leadership) and on February 16, 4:00 pm (focused on college/university institutional priorities). Learn more and register here.
One of our priorities in 2023 is helping NACAC host the 79th NACAC National Conference in Baltimore on September 21-23, 2023. Planning is underway with the NACAC staff. MANY volunteers will be needed to help us welcome thousands of colleagues to Charm City. Please email [email protected] to volunteer!
Thank you ALL for everything that you do to help make PCACAC an affiliate that supports you, inspires your goals and continues our work towards our mission to support and advance college admission professionals as they guide their institutions, students, and families in an ethical manner.
Welcome 2023--we are ready for you! Sincerely, Ann Marie Strauss, PCACAC President
