NASACT 2020 Annual Conference

Dear NASACT Members and Partners,

It is my honor to welcome you to the 105th NASACT Annual Conference.

I had hoped to welcome you to Vermont for this event, but the Covid-19 pandemic prevented that from happening. Your health and safety are of utmost importance to the leadership of NASACT. However, we recognize that you still need the training and networking opportunities that the NASACT conference offers each summer. So I am pleased that we are still able to offer the conference in a virtual format.

While there are downsides to not being able to convene in August, the virtual format does have several benefits:

• Traditionally, attendees are forced to choose between many concurrent sessions. With our virtual format, ALL sessions will be available to all attendees.
• Normally our conference offers a maximum of 15 CPE credits. Because sessions are spread out over a number of days, we are able to offer more CPE opportunities, including up to 29.5 CPE credits for those who attend every session.
• Because we will not have the costs associated with hosting an onsite event, we are able to offer a much lower registration fee.

Our Training and Professional Development Committee has worked hard to provide an agenda offering a range of topics of importance to members of NASACT. NASACT is known for providing excellent training opportunities, and despite the challenges we face in 2020, this year’s annual conference will rise to that call. 

Thank you for your support of NASACT and this conference.


Beth Pearce
President of NASACT, 2019-20
State Treasurer of Vermont
