NCA
NCA is the largest national organization dedicated to communication. Researchers, educators, and professionals, work to understand and better all forms of human communication. Through publications, resources, conferences, conventions, and services, NCA contributes to the greater good of education and society
NCA is a scholarly society that works to enhance the research, teaching, and service produced by its members on topics of both intellectual and social significance.
NCA is the oldest and largest national organization to promote communication scholarship and education. A non-profit organization, NCA has over 8,000 educators, practitioners, and students who work and reside in every state and more than 20 countries.
NCA takes the lead in publicizing the discipline’s scholarship through press releases and regular contacts with policy makers. When appropriate, NCA offers scholarship to support the development of governmental policy. Where proposed laws are of interest or potential concern, the National Office staff notifies members so that they can make their opinions known to their representatives on Capitol Hill.
Members and staff follow trends in national research, teaching, and service priorities. It both relays those opportunities to its members and represents the academic discipline of communication in those national efforts.
NCA sponsors an annual convention, which is the leading outlet for the discipline’s scholarship. NCA’s summer conferences bring together scholars working in an emerging area of interest to exchange ideas.
NCA publishes ten academic journals, which are the leading publications in their area of specialty.
