NCURA 55th Annual Meeting: “Investment – Commitment – Rewards.”

 Investment may take many forms – our institutions invest in us as research administrators, we invest in ourselves and through our efforts we invest in our institution’s research enterprise.  In addition, we invest our time and talent in NCURA and NCURA invests in us through its numerous and varied professional development and networking offerings.  Commitment is also multi-faceted – we are committed to our careers, to professional development, to continuous learning and to being the very best research administrators we can be.  We are also committed to the success of the research enterprise on the world, institutionally and globally.  NCURA is committed to the same – our organization is built upon a strong commitment to provide the very best professional development, networking and continuous learning opportunities to research administrators from around the world.  Rewards stem from the investments and commitments made by us, our institutions and NCURA.  These rewards are valuable and invaluable, tangible and intangible.  How does one value or quantify the reward of making a new professional connection at the Annual Meeting who later helps you solve a long-standing issue or problem at your institution simply by sharing their own experiences and providing advice.  The rewards that are realized through these investments and commitments complete a cycle and generate the momentum for future investment, commitment and rewards.
