The National Academic Advising Association (NACADA: The Global Community for Academic Advising) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. It is an international, educational association of individuals engaged in the work of academic advising. Its membership of over 10,000 international individuals is reported to include representatives from than 2,400 institutions and organizations related to higher education; individuals are classified by status as faculty member, professional advisor, graduate student, student support personnel, peer advisors, and administrators.[1] Its stated goal is to serve staff and faculty who provide academic advising to post-secondary students. The NACADA Executive Office has been housed in Manhattan, Kansas on the campus of Kansas State University since 1990.[2]
NACADA is a member of the American Council on Education, the Council for the Advancement of Standards in Higher Education CAS [3], and maintains a partnership with the National Collegiate Athletic Association to further student-athlete development and academic success.[4]
The NACADA organization sponsors conferences, institutes, scholarships,[5] web-based resources and seminars, Commission and Interest Groups, research-based publications, a speaker and consultants’ service, and an awards program. Online masters degree[6] and graduate certificate programs[7] are offered in conjunction with Kansas State University.
The NACADA website houses an indexed list of articles, statistics, and peer-reviewed scholarly articles, the Clearinghouse of Academic Advising Resources,[8] as a free resource for both members and non-members. The site strictly adheres to scholarly standards on copyright and appropriate citation of sources, and may be useful for practitioners, researchers, and students investigating student success, persistence, and graduation from institutions of higher education.

In 2008, the annual conference was held in Chicago, IL. In 2009, San Antonio, TX hosted the annual conference. The 2010 annual conference will be held in Orlanda, FL. The annual conference has been held in various cities including Baltimore, MD; Indianapolis, IN; Las Vegas, NV; Dallas, TX; and Salt Lake City, UT.
In addition to the annual conference, each of the regions holds a yearly conference specific to the colleges and universities present in the region. Many states in turn also hold a yearly conference for colleges and universities present in the state.
Commissions and Interest Groups
The NACADA Commissions advise the NACADA Commission & Interest Group Division Representatives and the NACADA Council about their concerns and issues and represent their members by serving on national and regional conference planning committees.
If members have an interest in a topic or constituency not included in the commission structure, a potential interest group may be formed. A meeting is held at the annual conference to generate initial support. When sufficient interest and commitment is generated, the potential interest group may apply for official interest group status.
