2023 Annual Conference

Next week, NOSSCR kicks off its 2023 Annual Conference in Washington DC. More than 900 people have registered for the event, making it one of the largest and most successful conferences NOSSCR has ever hosted.

The event will provide a unique opportunity for Social Security and disability advocates across the country to earn CLE for professional development. And with satellite events such as the Tom Scully Award Dinner, Next Gen Reception, and Women Wine Down, 2023 attendees will have more opportunities than ever to connect with colleagues.

The 2023 Conference agenda also underscores NOSSCR’s renewed commitment to advocating for policies that protect and improve the Social Security program; Senator Debbie Stabenow will be delivering a Keynote address at the Conference and the Social Security Administration will be participating in three separate sessions and exhibiting at the event.

Our team looks forward to seeing you all in Washington next week—and don’t forget to post photos and takeaways on social media using the hashtag #NOSSCR2023.

Executive Committee Wrap Up

Given the interest from NOSSCR members, The Forum will now include brief descriptions of both Executive Committee and Board of Director meetings. This is the first such wrap up. Next month’s Forum will also include our monthly Executive Committee meeting and the May 3rd Board meeting.

On April 17th NOSSCR’s Executive Committee met by video conference for about 80 minutes. During that call the committee reviewed NOSSCR’s year-end financials (to be shared at the Board of Directors meeting), discussed the upcoming NOSSCR conference in DC the first week of May, and specifically helped shape the agenda for the Board of Directors meeting. David Camp provided an update on recent policy activities. No formal actions were taken. NOSSCR staff were directed to complete the Board agenda and materials.

COMING SOON: A New Digital Platform for NOSSCR

NOSSCR is in the process of transitioning to a new virtual platform that will allow it to deliver higher-quality service, develop new member benefits, and build stronger communities.

The new tool will provide online communities and forums; a resource library for members; and easier access to member benefits and member-exclusive products. Be on the lookout for the launch of this new program later this summer!
