An Invitation from the president

As we look ahead to the summer, I am pleased to invite you to join us in Atlanta, GA for the 2012 NCDA Global Career Development Conference, from June 21-23rd. Set in the birthplace of Martin Luther King, Jr., the conference theme is Building on the Dream. As always, the high quality of conference sessions and PDIs will enhance your knowledge and strengthen your skills.

The conference hotel is the Hyatt Regency on PeachTree Street. (Click on "Hotel & Travel" on the right side bar for details). Atlanta is easy to access by flight or car. Known as the capital of the New South, Atlanta offers wonderful opportunities for you and your family. The Atlanta Braves will be playing at home during the conference. The world famous Georgia Aquarium and the World of Coca Cola are within walking distance of each other. For a taste of history, visit the Martin Luther King, Jr. Center and the home of his birth. If you like adventure, consider Six Flags Over Georgia, Zoo Atlanta or the famous Stone Mountain. For shoppers, you can’t miss Underground Atlanta. Other discoveries await at the High Museum of Art, the Carter Presidential Center, the Atlanta Botanical Garden and the Woodruff Arts Center. Bring your family with you!

Come learn, experience, give back, enjoy old friends and make new ones at the 2012 NCDA Global Conference in Atlanta, June 21-23rd. Be sure to check back for updated links on the right for more information about the conference and all of the exciting events that we have planned.
