All Conference Issue

By Melanie Reinersman

The Career Convergence editorial team recognizes the valuable contributions numerous authors have made to the field of career development through our publication. Over 800 articles in this web magazine's archives serve to inspire, empower, educate, and increase awareness in thousands of readers. The significance of this virtual library cannot be tangibly calculated. However, we can celebrate it – and we do through our annual conference and Career Convergence Recognition Award. This award is designed to acknowledge at least one of the many valuable articles published each year in the web magazine. View now a list of all Career Convergence Recognition Award winners.

 

July 2014 Articles

This month, Career Convergence will publish articles related to previous conference presentations, including an article about the first-ever NCDA conference. Some articles have won the Career Convergence Recognition Award, others were written by conference keynote speakers, still others cover topics that match conference themes. As usual, readers are encouraged to add a comment, contact authors and/or editors for more info and become members if they like what they read.

 

Creating a Monthly E-Magazine

Career Convergence could not happen without the contributions and talents of the entire editorial team. Each month, this volunteer team solicits, reviews and edits submissions to ensure submission guidelines are met. These NCDA members put in many hours to produce new material that is worthwhile for all levels of career service professionals. Their editing skills are occasionally topped by their own writing skills as they, too, have authored articles in Career Convergence. NCDA and the Career Convergence Editor, Melanie Reinersman, are grateful for the services of this current volunteer team (as well as all previous volunteers over the past 11 years):
