National Career Development Month (November)

Each year, the National Career Development Association (NCDA) celebrates National Career Development Month (November) with the annual Poetry and Poster Contest. In order to provide K-12 students and adults with an opportunity to participate, we need representatives from each state to collect the district winners and submit the entries electronically to the National Career Development Month Committee for the final round of judging. We are in need of NCD Month State Coordinators for the following states, AZ, HI, IL, IN, KS, KY, ME, MT, NE, NV, NH, SD, VT, WA, WV, and WY. State coordinators assist with celebrations for their state winners and forward the winning entries on to the national contest. This can all be done electronically, in coordination with the local contest coordinators in each state. If you are interested in volunteering as an NCDA Poetry & Poster Contest State Coordinator, please contact me directly at lmorgan7@uccs.edu.  About the 52nd Annual Poetry and Poster Contest...
