 About Virtual Roundtables 

NACA is launching a new series of Virtual Roundtables, each facilitated by a NACA member. These online sessions will consist of conversations to explore a specific topic. These sessions will not include a presentation and will depend on member participation. All attendees will be asked to provide feedback on the session afterwards. Attendance at Virtual Roundtables is capped at fifteen. Please register only if you plan on attending the live session. Unless noted otherwise, the Virtual Roundtable will be recorded and available in NACA’s Training Library.
