The NPA is only as strong as its members, and with your 20,000 voices as support, we can advocate to fill the needs of our postdocs and the institutions that support them. We will discuss and support the best public policy as well as institutional actions for our members.

STRATEGIES

1. Amplify the voices of postdocs and express the value of the postdoctoral experience.
2. Advocate for preferred public policy that addresses national and local trends affecting membership.
3. Develop research and reports to support postdoc and postdoc office advocacy efforts and member needs.
