NACA National Convention Showcase and Lecture Selection Committees Online Application
Take an active role in determining who will appear on the showcase stages at the NACA National Convention. Apply for a position on the Showcase Selection Committee or the Lecture Showcase Selection Committee.
These two Showcase Selection Committees are responsible for the artist selection for showcases presented at the NACA National Convention. The Showcase Selection process involves reviewing audio/visual and printed material submitted by NACA associate members, and building showcases following discussion and deliberation. A broad view of campus activities and a strong ability to work through the decision-making process as a group is essential to the process. It is necessary to select the acts in reasonable, discreet and equitable manner according to the established criteria.
The membership of the committee must remain anonymous through the selection process. The committee membership will be sensitive to the representation of the Association (i.e. regions, school location, size and type of institution, gender, ethnic background, etc.). Previous experience on a showcase selection committee and attendance at a National Convention or regional conference is not required, but is strongly preferred. Committee members are appointed by the Chair of the NACA Board. Appointments are expected to be made by late July. Please note that applicants must not be a current or former employee of an NACA associate member firm or agency, nor may they plan to be employed by an associate member firm or agency within the next year.
Applicants should note that serving on the selection committee will require time away from work/class. However, NACA covers the cost of transportation, meals, and lodging for the selection meeting. Applicants will be expected to attend the entire showcase selection process.
Applications can be submitted using the online form below.
