Membership dues for 2023 have been temporarily suspended due to COVID-19. This was decided in an effort to address the planning of only virtual events until it is safe to plan otherwise. As soon as a dues schedule is determined sisters will be notified via the NCAA and SCAA google groups.

Members can grow networks in community service areas such as Environmental topics, Education topics, Health and Mental health, Community Organizing and Social Movements as well as participate in Alum Association organized philanthropy events.
At this time, meetings are not required but your attendance is highly encouraged. Monthly General Meetings are held on the third Monday of every month at 7pm. Zoom links and passwords are provided via the NCAA and SCAA google groups
The Director will send out an agenda 48 hours prior to each meeting so that you may review and participate in the discussions/votes that most matter to you.
