A Message From Our President

October Greetings!

Earlier this month, over 6,000 NACAC members gathered in Minneapolis, MN for the annual conference. The conference provided great opportunity to connect with old friends,
meet new ones, share ideas and pick up new skills or resources that will help us as we support the students in our trust. A few highlights with relevant connection for our membership:

• We hosted our 2nd (now annual) PCACAC Member Reception. The membership social replaces what was previously a business meeting. The transition to a social event continues to be a hit—offering better food and beverages, lower costs by hosting outside the convention center/hotel and far more meaningful opportunities for members to foster community. 
• PCACAC’s very own Jordan Vaughn was recognized as a NACAC Rising Star. A huge congratulations to Jordan!

Wishing the entire PCACAC community safe travels, inspired writing, and plenty of positive energy as fall travel and college application season hit their peak this
month!

Scott P. Mayer
PCACAC President
