NACCAP

It would be difficult to capture all that happened on day 2 of the NACCAP annual conference but what is easy to see is how much this community loves being together.

Day 1 of the annual conference is in the books. Looking forward to all that day 2 has to offer!!

Today we celebrate an incredible milestone for Bev Zarges, Vice President of College Fairs, as she marks 25 years of service with NACCAP!

Bev has faithfully served students, families, institutions, and colleagues with excellence, leadership, wisdom, and care. Her impact on Christian education and the countless relationships built through NACCAP college fairs has been immeasurable.

Thank you, Bev, for 25 years of dedication, partnership, and meaningful work. We are deeply grateful for the difference you have made in the NACCAP community and beyond. Congratulations on this remarkable anniversary!
