Welcome,

On behalf of the planning committee and the Regional Advisory Board, we are excited to invite you to the NASPA Region I Annual Conference, taking place from November 14-17, 2026, at the DoubleTree by Hilton in Manchester, NH.

Our regional conference is always filled with energy and enthusiasm, and this year, we encourage you to amplify that spirit by submitting a program proposal, serving as an award nominator, or supporting the region through donating to the Dr. Barbara Fienman Silent Auction.

The committee's goal this year is to create a conference focused on high-quality educational sessions, community building among higher education professionals, and the establishment of a lasting, purposeful network.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out directly.

We look forward to seeing you all in Manchester!

Proceeds from the silent auction go directly towards the Engagement Assistance Program which will allow individuals to request funding to assist in costs associated with regional and national NASPA events/initiatives including membership support.

While the Silent Auction provides an opportunity for conference attendees to purchase unique items, the impact is far greater. Proceeds from the Silent Auction go directly back to NASPA Region I to fund events, conferences, and to provide financial assistance for members to attend professional development opportunities offered within the region.
