Did you have a productive #NCA24 conference? Did it inspire ideas? Did you make some quality connections?? Foster these outcomes! Take the time to write down your ideas so you don’t lose these important thoughts! Email the folks who you made connections to open the door for future conversations!

Had a lovely time at #NCA24! It’s always so fun and rejuvenating to connect with old and new friends, and it’s inspiring listening to the amazing work that scholars are doing! Until next time, folks!
