We honor the NCDEA presidents who paved the way for the continued growth of NCDEA. Their work built the foundation for NCDEA’s many successes.
The Association’s ability to participate in national policy and program debates and to represent our 7,000 members at the national level is due to the selfless investment by each president. On behalf of all members, each person contributed countless hours to the work of the Association.
Please pause for a moment to reflect on the sacrifices each president has made for the betterment of all members. Thank you, NCDEA presidents!
