March 2021 Newsletter - PARTNERSHIPS NEWS |
PACDA Association Partnerships are with organizations whose fields and learning opportunities overlap with career services and whose programming will be of interest to our members. By partnering, both of our organizations maximize resources, avoid duplication, amplify each other's efforts and increase event participation. PACDA sees Partnerships as a benefit for our members! Many of our Partners offer a registration discount to PACDA members so your precious professional development dollars stretch further. Attending Partner events results in expanding your network beyond PACDA. We have partnerships with neighboring state NCDA State Divisions and groups with a focus on career services, learning and development, talent development, personality type and book authors. Check out Partnerships under the “About Us” tab on the PACDA website. Information is posted there about our existing Partners and upcoming events. Please reach out to partnerships@thepacda.org if you have questions or suggestions for a Partner organization. See below for two upcoming professional development opportunities.
