If you’ve been looking to meet more people in the Social Security space, especially others who are early in their careers, the 2025 NextGen Retreat is the perfect opportunity.

This fall, join fellow advocates from across the country for a weekend designed specifically for the NOSSCR NextGen community: NOSSCR members who are 40 or under or in their first ten years of Social Security practice. Whether you’re new to the field or have already built a foundation, the retreat offers time to connect, reflect, and grow in a supportive, peer-focused setting (while affordably earning CLE credit!).

This retreat combines professional development with real networking and community building. You’ll have the chance to take part in small-group discussions, share experiences, and learn from others navigating similar stages of their careers. And don’t worry! We’ve left time for you to explore Charlotte or unwind at your own pace. It’s a weekend that will be both professionally and personally productive.

Whether you’re a solo practitioner, working with a firm, or in legal services, the NextGen community is a supportive place to share ideas and build lasting professional relationships. This retreat is a chance to strengthen those connections—and make new ones. We hope to see you there!
