Make Your Case to Attend #NISOD2025

NISOD's Annual Conference is the go-to event for community and technical college educators! We understand that professional development budgets can be limited, making it challenging to attend all the events that provide valuable skills and strategies to enhance your work. Here's a case for funding template you can customize and submit to your supervisor. We hope to see you at our 47th annual conference in Austin, Texas, in May!
