Promotion & Tenure Reviewers
"Help Early Career Agents by Being a Promotion and Tenure Reviewer"
by Danny Lauderdale, Early Career Development Committee National Chair
The new NACAA website launched on December 1, 2021. I hope that everyone has been able to login to the new site and update your profile. One of the new features in the profile is to indicate interest in being a Promotion and Tenure Reviewer since some states require out-of-state reviewers. As I write this there are 54 promotion reviewers and 32 tenure reviewers.
The Early Career Development Committee encourages all members to consider helping out other Agents that need a reviewer for promotion or tenure. When you login to the NACAA website you land on your 'MEMBER DASHBOARD" page. The first box on the upper left of the page under your welcome message is "EDIT MY PROFILE" (direct link is: https://www.nacaa.com/edit-profile). Click that and scroll to the bottom of the page under "ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS" and check "Promotion", "Tenure" or both under the question "Are you interested in being a Promotion and Tenure Reviewer?". Below that indicate your rank by using the drop-down menu to help those looking for reviewers choose those with a rank above their current rank.
For those looking for promotion or tenure reviewers, "MEMBER SEARCH" (direct link is: https://www.nacaa.com/member-search) is below "EDIT MY PROFILE" on your "MEMBER DASHBOARD" page. After clicking on that, scroll down and check "Only show Promotion Reviewers" or "Only show Tenure Reviewers" then click on "SEARCH" to get a list.
If anyone has questions or suggestions related to Early Career Development, please reach out to the Early Career Development Committee. You can feind committee contact info at: NACAA | Committees
We encourage you to take this and any other opportunity to help out an Early Career Agent.

January 2022 - NACAA Update
NACAA January Activities
Dear NACAA Members,
Instead of sending 3 different e-blasts, we're combining information into one post to simplify everyone's life.
NACAA 365 Webinar (Next week)
When: Jan 12, 2022 01:00 PM Indiana (East)
Topic: NACAA 365 Webinar - NACAA New Website....
Brief Overview - How To
NACAA Executive Director Scott Hawbaker will give us a brief overview of the new NACAA website found at www.nacaa.com
We'll run thru how to apply for an award, submit a presentation proposal, submit a poster, enter a Journal article for the Journal of NACAA...as well as do some general browsing to show you how to update your general info and where to find other items on the website.
Since there may be a lot of questions, we'll do our best to answer them during the call, but due to time limitations, we may just collect those in chat...and then Scott will follow up with answers and make them available to everyone.
Pre-registration is not required for this one - so join if you can. We will be recording the webinar for future reference and placing on the NACAA website.

NACAA to unveil NEW WEBSITE December 1st
NACAA to unveil NEW WEBSITE December 1st
www.nacaa.com will have a NEW Look starting December 1st.
The process of "switching on" the new site may take 24-48 hours to reach everyone across the country, but it will be functional very soon. Our plans are to flip the switch officially on December 1, 2021.
For security reasons, you will need to create a new password for the site in order to log-in. If you see a series of short video clips running (similar to the image above)....you'll know you are on the new site. If you don't see the short video clips....please wait to do the new password update until the new site is viewable to you.
In the upper right hand corner - you will see a Log-in header. Click on that - and then click on the Forgot Password link. You will be asked for your username. Most of you have you have used your email address as your username on the old site (but a few of you had created a different user name in the old system). Once you enter your username - an email will be sent to the email address we have on file, allowing you to then create a new password. If for some reason you don't remember your username - send me an email at nacaaemail@aol.com and I'll see what I can find on this end.
Upon logging in - you will first be taken to your Member Profile page. Please make updates to your address/contact info if what we have isn't up to date. You will also notice on this page - there are options to select what your Member Specialties are, as well as let us know if you are interested in serving as a Promotion/Tenure reviewer. Please make sure to edit/update as many of the items as you can within the Member Profile page (Edit My Profile), as it is useful information to our National committees and other members when trying to search for you.
NACAA will be posting and emailing links to short "How-To" videos for various elements of the website. As we enter into the new year, the award application, presentation, scholarship, Journal of NACAA and Membership Dues submission processes will be different than before. Member Dues are still coordinated by each state association - so please contact your state leadership on the process for submitting dues.
For state leadership - if you haven't updated your State Officers or State Committee Chairs within the system - you will now have to submit those lists directly to NACAA for input by the National Office. For security reasons - we are unable to give access to state leaders to update that information direclty on the site. Please email those lists to: nacaaemail@aol.com.
We hope you will enjoy the new website! We've tried our best to make this site more user friendly and easier to find what you need...quicker. As with any new project, there are bound to be small "glitches" that need to be "fixed". If you find something that isn't working, or just doesn't look quite right, please let us know and we'll do our very best to get those issues resolved as quickly as possible.
Thanks for your membership in NACAA!
