Top 15 highlights from the NACCE 2022
Dear NACCE Friend,
We are truly grateful to our members, partners, sponsors, and presenters who traveled from 46 states, Canada, and virtually to learn and network during our 20th Anniversary conference. With a Joy of Discovery ethos, as a community, we engaged in curiosity exercises, made connections, and co-created the future together. This fun photo was taken with my iPhone. Check out the professional photos from this transformative event, courtesy of Nicki Rawlings of NHR Photography, one of several Everyday Entrepreneurs hired for this event. Feel free to share these images on social media and tag us and your friends! #NACCE2022.
