Education Foundation

Dear Members,

Welcome to the NACAS Education Foundation website.  The Foundation was established to provide resources for the expansion of programs, materials and research in support of the educational opportunities available to NACAS membership and the auxiliary services profession.

 

Contributions to the Education Foundation make it possible for the National Association to accept gifts, grants and in-kind contributions from a variety of sources, including the Association membership, our business partners, as well as from government agencies and other education and research foundations.

 

The Foundation supports educational programs and research efforts that have a direct impact on the Association’s educational and professional development priorities and objectives.

 

The following are programs or studies that the Education Foundation has supported:

  • In 2003-2004, the NACAS Certification Task Force.
  • In 2004, the development of the first NACAS Webcast.
  • In 2004-05, establishment of the permanently endowed Mereese Ladson Scholarship Fund.
  • In 2005, the Management Institute Planning Task Force.
  • In 2005-06, the establishment of the mechanism to provide temporary and permanent endowment of funds.
  • In 2006, the award of the first Mereese Ladson Diversity Scholarship and developed the Institute for Managers-I.
  • In 2007, developed the Institute for Managers-II at Indiana University, multiple Ladson Scholarships, and support for the Institute for Managers-I. The endowment stands at $140,000.

 

Future plans include:

  • Development of the NACAS Resource Library.
  • Support of important education programs, both nationally and at the regions.
  • Funding various scholarships, both nationally and at the regions.
  • Faculty internships for teaching auxiliary services.
  • Best practices descriptions for auxiliary services.
  • Funding of key auxiliary service publications.

 

ImageMany corporate and business organizations that are NACAS Business Partner members have made a strong commitment to the profession through sponsorships and contributions. We are confident that in every case, our Business Partners have found true value in their expanded relationship with the Association and that the higher education community views their support as a commitment to Helping to Better the Profession.

 

I encourage you to invest in the future of our profession by contributing to the NACAS Education Foundation.

Sincerely,
Frank Mumford
