"Finding Our Way and Finding Our Voice"
Lynn H. Turner, Ph.D.
Marquette University
Saturday, November 19, 2011
In the NCA Presidential Address, “Finding Our Way and Finding Our Voice,” Lynn H. Turner, Marquette University, explores the challenges and limits of voice and how voice is dependent upon many things, including authority to speak, willing listeners, and civil intent. She applies these ideas to our association and raises several questions including: 1) can an association of 8000+ members have a "voice"? 2) how can voice be exercised on an association level? 3) what do we have to do in order to have our voice be heard?
The 2011 Presidential Address and Award were sponsored by SAGE Publications.

“Moving Toward NCA’s 100th: What Ties Carry and Keep Us Together?”
Dawn O. Braithwaite, Ph.D.

Tuesday, November 16, 2010
As we reflect on the history of NCA and plan to celebrate our upcoming centennial in 2014, we find ourselves part of a discipline of vitality and breadth. A study of our association’s history helps us understand our diversity as scholars and teachers. At the same time we must also ask, what are the ties that carry and keep us together? Around what do we cohere as an association, discipline, programs, and as individual members of NCA? Dawn O. Braithwaite will reflect on these questions in her Presidential Address.
