Update from the President
It is a tremendous honor to serve as President of the National College Testing Association. I am humbled and honored to represent NCTA, and I am deeply grateful for the trust you have placed in me through my election as President. NCTA is a remarkable organization because of the people who make up our community. We share a commitment to providing fair, secure, and accessible testing experiences for students, while supporting one another through the challenges and opportunities of our profession. As I look toward the year ahead, I have two important priorities for our organization. First, I want to grow NCTA's membership both nationally and internationally. There are testing professionals who have yet to discover the professional community, resources, and connections that NCTA provides. Growing our membership isn't simply about increasing our numbers—it is about welcoming new voices, experiences, and ideas into our organization. I encourage each of you to be an ambassador for NCTA and invite a colleague to become part of our community. Second, I am excited about the opportunities presented by our new Proctor Training Division. Well-trained proctors play an essential role in protecting exam integrity, creating consistency, and supporting students. By expanding practical, high-quality proctor training and professional development, NCTA can provide even more valuable resources to our members and the institutions they serve. Of course, these priorities—and everything NCTA accomplishes—depend on the dedication of our members and volunteers. I look forward to listening, collaborating, and working alongside all of you as we continue to strengthen our organization and our profession. Thank you for your confidence, your dedication to NCTA, and the privilege of allowing me to serve as your President. I am excited about what we can accomplish together and look forward to making this an outstanding year for NCTA. Together, let's continue to grow our community, strengthen our profession, and support the important work of testing professionals everywhere. Jan Gonzalez |
