NODA
To create a community of practice that defines and enriches the fields of orientation, transition, and retention by providing education, leadership, and professional development for orientation and transition professionals in higher education.
About NODA
NODA is a national professional association serving higher-education orientation, transition, and retention (OTR) practitioners, student leaders, graduate students, and scholars. The organization delivers professional development, an annual conference (NODAC), core competency courses, awards, and networks that support best practices in student transition and retention.
NODA is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN 38-2526523) headquartered in Roseville/Minneapolis, Minnesota; the EIN provided has been cross-checked against public nonprofit records and NODA’s filings and matches the organization described here. The association’s operations are primarily program-service driven and it serves hundreds of professionals and institutions through membership, events, and educational programs.
In the last 2–3 years NODA has recovered membership levels following the pandemic, expanded its institutional membership model, run a capacity annual conference in 2024, and advanced a multi-year governance and community reorganization (NODA Communities) to broaden member engagement and access to professional learning.
Notable achievements
Sold-out 2024 Annual Conference (NODAC)
NODA’s signature annual conference (NODAC) in Portland, OR (November 11–14, 2024) reached capacity and hosted hundreds of practitioners for keynotes, dozens of educational sessions, vendor showcases, and networking events, reinforcing the association’s role as a central convening for the OTR field.
Membership recovery and institutional membership expansion
Following pandemic-era declines, the Association reported membership growth and broad adoption of a newer institutional membership option; NODA also converted core competency course offerings to in-person modalities to meet member demand for hands-on professional development.
Program-scale and fiscal operations
NODA operates at a mid-sized association scale with program services constituting the vast majority of revenue; recent fiscal years show annual revenues in the low-to-mid seven-figure range, demonstrating sustained delivery of educational programs and events to member institutions.
