About the Conference
Join NAASS’s Middle/Southern Region for two days of learning, brainstorming, and networking! We are excited to partner together for this regional conference in beautiful Asheville, North Carolina, at Western Carolina University’s Biltmore Park Campus.
Over the course of two days, we will cover a number of subjects, addressing topics directly related to summer, as well as some related ideas which affect summer sessions but may not be part of the typical conversation. We look forward to welcoming NAASS members from the Middle/Southern region and beyond! Please mark your calendars for this conference and stay tuned for specific details regarding our topics and speakers.
