February is a chance to reset, realign, and move forward with purpose. Behind the scenes, we’re continuing to strengthen member resources, improve the overall experience, and create spaces for meaningful connection, learning, and growth. Your feedback continues to guide that work, and we’re grateful for the trust and patience you bring to this community.

Registration for NNBA 2026 is officially open, with early bird pricing available for a limited time. If this conference has been on your mind, this is a great opportunity to secure your spot early and plan ahead with confidence.


Thank you for being part of a community rooted in intention, integrity, and sustainable growth.

With gratitude,

Nena
