Inspiring Career-Life Choices, Empowering Lives
Together We Can Make A Difference

On behalf of our MACDA, our NEC (New England Consortium-NCDA State CDAs), comprised of the six New England NCDA State CDAs in our region (CT, ME, MA, RI and the joint VT/NH CDAs), and NCDA, Thank YOU for visiting our website!

Sending you and your loved ones warm wishes for a Blessed Holiday
and a very Happy Healthy New Year, 2025!

Give yourself sufficient time to reflect on where you presently are in your career-life journey, where you want to be in 1-2 years, and one important action to move forward in that direction as we all transition to a new year.

Reflection is an easy and important self care activity that enhances wellbeing.

On the right side of this home page, please note our Call for Proposals for our 4th Annual NEC Virtual Conference on March 20, 2025 from 9AM-1PM. NCDA CEs will be available!

Consider submitting a proposal and/or saving this date to join us…and tell a colleague about our NEC Conference. That involves our six New England State CDAs!

Please consider participating in our Each One, Reach One Initiative (EORO)!

• If you're a National Career Development Association (NCDA) member, and not yet a member of your MACDA, please consider joining us.
• If you’re not yet a member of NCDA, but a member of MACDA, please consider joining NCDA.
• Encourage your colleagues to join our MACDA.
• Publish an article on our MACDA website or one of several NCDA publications (hover over the Publication tab on the NCDA website to view various NCDA publications) about the special work you do and how it helps your students/clients/customers at your workplace.

You can be a member of our MACDA and not choose to be a member of NCDA. There are a lot of benefits though for joining NCDA, but it’s not a requirement for joining our MACDA.

By joining MACDA, you get to attend any of the NEC (New England Consortium - NCDA State CDAs) events because of your MACDA membership! Many are free, and others will offer you an NEC rate, lower than for non-members of our NEC State CDAs.

Please feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions. Stay safe and warm as winter soon envelops all of New England with a different and still beautiful charm, amidst challenging conditions, especially driving and/or flying.  Remember to make sufficient time to self care and strive to create more balance among your multiple career-life roles.

Warm regards,

Ed Colozzi
