Topics:
Our annual conference this year is focusing sharply on AFFORDABILITY.
  • IEC's are paying attention, and are asking, "How can America afford to go to college?"
  • Families with 2 or 3 children are facing astronomical costs, destabilizing debt, and the disruption of all other financial planning.  IEC's can no longer simply focus on helping students find a good academic fit. We must also assist families in addressing the significant costs.
  • Speakers this year will bring helpful perspectives from a Macroeconomic context; financial strategies that save retirement planning; The Coalition of Colleges for Access, Affordability and Success; Athletic Grants-in-Aid; and other critical elements of affordability.
  • As always we are flush with resources for Professional IEC's as business people, too.
  • This year we are also inaugurating "Spotlight on Your NCAG." That will be one section in the program to keep you updated on all of the behind-the-scenes perspicacity and planning.
  • Your registration INCLUDES BREAKFAST and LUNCH each of the two days.
  • Tuesday evening plans include relaxing and fun activities; optional but irresistible.
  • FIRST, REGISTER as an attendee.
    • Only $350.00 for NCAG Members.
    • We've worked hard to keep your costs level over the last several years.
