September 2023

Haaaay NJACAC!

 Wow! We are halfway through September and hopefully you are getting settled into the 2023-2024 school year! Below please find updates on things happening within NJACAC. 

 MEMBERSHIP

Our team has been keeping busy with the implementation of our new CRM and experiencing the growing pains associated with that transition.  Thank you for your patience and grace as we learn and grow together.  Please CLICK HERE to join or renew your membership.  At this point, we have a relatively good handle on our membership registration process and can answer most questions.  

For those signing up for an INSTITUTIONAL membership, one person will be responsible for creating the institutional account (and submitting payment).  Once payment is processed, you will be able to log into the institutional account and manage your roster.  Each person added to the roster will receive a separate email with information on how to create an account and log in.  I know this can be confusing, but do not hesitate to contact us with any questions–we are here to help!
