The Region of Opportunities
Advocacy Day Join NAFSA's public policy experts for a power-packed virtual training on needed changes to federal law and public policy and then collaborate with your peers to meet (virtually) with your members of Congress to communicate how such changes would result in key contributions to your state, economy, and U.S. competitiveness as a whole. More information is available at https://www.nafsa.org/events/nafsa-advocacy-day.
Recognition Region X celebrates its membership by providing the James O'Driscoll Distinguished Service Award, the Lifetime Achievement Award, and the Rising Professional Award.
