NCASA Weekly Update: 1/05

Hello and Welcome Back from your hard-earned winter break. I know we all wanted a few more days!

As we begin the new year, our competition season is now in full swing, with registration and submission deadlines approaching for several of them. Please reference these updates and let us know if you have any questions. Also, please remember to forward any relevant information to others at your school or on your staff, since individual coaches may not receive these general updates. The last update of 2025 is a good recap of all of our competitions, for reference.

In this issue, we also announce the Gate City Youth Poetry Festival as a part of our partnership with the Poetry Cafe. Please help us get the word out to the poets in your buildings!

Lastly, you may receive automated messages about our Support Drive. Even if you do not contribute, we hope we can rely on you to help get this information to your alumni who have participated in NCASA events over the past 15 years, whether that is through individual contacts or your school social media channels; this also applies to our Outstanding Alumni initiative, for which we will be accepting these nominations on an ongoing basis.

Happy new year to you all.
