NMC has long been a member of NISOD, the National Institute for Staff and Organizational Development. As members, we receive many benefits including being able to nominate faculty for the NISOD Excellence Awards, attend the NISOD conference and get professional development resources right in our inboxes. 47 faculty and staff already are signed up for NISODirect. If that includes you, you are already receiving information about Innovation Abstracts teaching articles, monthly webinars and other valuable PD resources. You can also sign up to receive a weekly newsletter featuring links to recent reports and articles involving community colleges. This is a great way to receive regular, short, practical, and useful professional development information all semester long! If you are not signed up, just go to nisod.org/NISODirect.
