Ways to Celebrate

Anniversary Gala

FAQ

Due to the 2027 NASP Convention being in Charlotte in February 2027, we will not be hosting our traditional Fall Conference in 2026. Instead, we will have just one day of in-person professional learning. Then, that evening, we will have a celebratory awards gala. You can attend just the professional learning, just the gala, or both!

50th Anniversary Conference

On October 23, we will host the 50th Anniversary Conference at The Club at 12 Oaks. This day of professional learning will kick off with NASP President, Jason Pedersen, PhD, NCSP as he invites us to reconnect with the purpose and possibility of our work through the NASP presidential theme of Empower. Build. Elevate. After lunch with friends or vision groups, we'll reconnect in the afternoon for breakout sessions around mentoring, mental health interventions, and MTSS and the NASP Practice model. There are only 190 seats available, so don't delay! See the full agenda here, then register below.

50th Anniversary Gala

Don your dark blue and gold finery and join us back at 5pm at The Club at 12 Oaks for an evening gala celebrating the past, present, and future of NCSPA. We'll honor past presidents, connect with one another, celebrate this year's NCSPA Awards winners, and give out prizes (including the grand prize of a NASP Convention ticket). It will definitely be an evening to remember. There are only 190 seats available, so don't delay!
