It’s giving… PRESIDENTIAL

Last weekend, outgoing, president, Adam Stevens, and incoming president, Dr. Chyela Rowe had the pleasure of gathering with Past Presidents for a meeting that truly celebrated the rich history and vibrant culture of NADTA. 🎉

Highlights of Our Gathering:
Exploring Our Roots: We delved into the history of NADTA, honoring the milestones that have shaped our organization. 📚
Cultural Exchange: The discussions were filled with reflections on the unique culture that defines us and the values we cherish. 🌍❤️
Navigating Change: We acknowledged the current era of transition and transformation, recognizing the importance of adaptability and innovation in our journey ahead. 🚀
It was an energizing experience to connect with such passionate leaders, and we are excited to carry forward the wisdom shared during our time together.

Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to this meaningful dialogue! Let’s continue to build on this momentum as we shape the future of NADTA together.

It’s been a couple of weeks since we gathered in New Orleans, and our hearts are still full.

As we close our time together, we extend a warm thank you to the incredible team who made NADTA 2025 possible: our Conference Co-Chairs Susie Schutt and Nicole Ventura, our Program Co-Chairs Megan Svarich-Knights and Opher Shamir, and every volunteer, committee member, and presenter who shared their artistry and care.

We also thank our generous sponsors and partners, from universities to creative organizations, for helping us bring Shared Stages to life. 💜
