ANNUAL CONFERENCE WRAP-UP

Post Conference Update

If you or colleagues joined us for the conference, we hope you had a great time in Austin making new connections and memories. We also appreciate the support from all who registered attendees from their college, submitted names for Excellence Awards recipients, and managed many details. Thank you for helping us to make it a success!

Conference Photos and Videos

Photos, videos and the General Session recordings will become available later in June. The link to access these will be in a notification from NISOD as well as in the Whova app that was used for the conference. Once available, the photos and video will be available to members in the Conference Archive in our Resource Library.

As a reminder, the Whova app is available through August to conference attendees to access content and connect with others.

EXCELLENCE AWARDS

A Very Special Delivery

While we love honoring those who can join us in person, we also appreciate that budgets and other commitments may not permit this for all.

Recipients unable to attend the conference and awards ceremony will receive their medallion, certificate, and booklet by mail later this month.

These materials will be sent to the NISOD Liaison at the college's address in our database. Please check that address by logging in to your NISOD account! We will email a reminder when the Awards materials are due to be mailed.

Email membership@nisod.org with questions about our process, or a change is needed to the mailing point of contact or address.

Did you know?

A total of 1,130 names were submitted for the Excellence Awards in 2026! We had the honor of recognizing nearly 300 honorees at the Excellence Awards Dinner and Celebration who received their medallions onstage.

MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL

Renew by June 30 for 2025 Rates

Early reminders for renewal have been emailed to liaisons at colleges with a membership that expires on June 30, 2026. Thank you to all members that have renewed early!

We hope colleges renew early to avoid a lapse in access to resources. Take advantage of receiving the current membership rate instead of 2026-2027 rates. Click this link to see the new membership rates.

Questions? Please email membership@nisod.org for help.
