President's Message

Soboski

Dear Colleagues and Members,

Welcome to the NEACAC website! I hope you find this resource valuable as it showcases all the wonderful work our association is doing. With over 3,800 members, we are committed to supporting fellow colleagues as they work with students and families to help make college dreams a reality.

I am honored to step into the role of President, and am excited to continue building upon the impressive legacy of this organization while striving towards a very bright future. I understand that things won’t always be easy. Together we will grapple with the upcoming FAFSA changes, demographic cliffs, the increased need for mental health resources to support our students, and of course the impending release of the opinions of the Supreme Court Cases related to affirmative action. It’s going to be a busy year, and we, I, along with my fellow Executive Board members, are ready to support you as we navigate these challenges together.

If you’re looking to get more involved, please consider volunteering! The hands-on work of our volunteer corps is crucial for the success of the great programs and initiatives we’ve been able to offer. I can assure you that you’ll be energized by the outstanding work our colleagues are doing everyday. If you have any questions about volunteering opportunities or different committees, please reach out. Members of the Executive Board as well as committee chairs welcome the opportunity to share their experiences and will surely help you find ways to serve in the association. Click here for all of the information you’ll need to get involved: Volunteer.

I look forward to connecting with you throughout the coming year. There is still much work to be done in supporting colleagues, advocating for change, and working to diversify our membership in every area. Please share your thoughts and ideas with me; your voice is important and it will help to broaden our perspectives on the leadership level. 

Best wishes for a restful and restorative summer!

These videos are now available on the NEACAC YouTube channel so that students, families, and counselors throughout the region may access important information on demand.
