Dear NAPAHE Community,

As a member-driven association, NAPAHE's future is shaped by the experiences, needs, and aspirations of the professionals we serve. Over the past year, NAPAHE developed and adopted a new strategic plan that establishes a roadmap for strengthening professional development, enhancing member engagement, growing our community, and ensuring that our programs continue to provide meaningful value to members across all career stages and institutional types.

To help us achieve those goals, we invite you to complete the NAPAHE Member Needs Survey, linked below:

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/NAPAHE2026MemberNeeds

This survey is one of the most important research initiatives we have undertaken as an organization. The results will help us better understand the needs, experiences, priorities, and professional development interests of current members, former members, and prospective members so that we can make informed decisions about the future of NAPAHE.

Your feedback will help us identify the knowledge, skills, resources, and opportunities that matter most to our community. The results will directly inform future professional development offerings, conference planning, member engagement strategies, affinity group development, and other priorities outlined in NAPAHE's strategic plan. Just as importantly, the survey will help us better understand the evolving needs of professionals across different roles, career stages, and institutional contexts so that NAPAHE can continue to provide meaningful value to its members.

The survey should take approximately 20-25 minutes to complete.

Survey Deadline: Friday, September 4, 2026

Because NAPAHE is an association by its members, for its members, your voice matters. Whether you are a long-time member, new to NAPAHE, a former member, or someone who has never belonged to NAPAHE, your perspective will help guide our decisions and investments over the coming years.

We are committed to using the findings from this survey to shape future programming, member services, conference offerings, and engagement opportunities. The more perspectives we hear, the better equipped we will be to ensure NAPAHE remains relevant, valuable, and responsive to the needs of our profession.

Thank you in advance for your time, your honesty, and your investment in the NAPAHE community.

With appreciation,

Stuart J. Schmidt
Executive Director
NAPAHE
