We Want You for the
NCCSS Executive Board
The North Carolina Council for the Social Studies Needs You!
At the 2025 NCCSS Conference, members of the North Carolina Council for the Social Studies will elect new members to the Executive Board to guide the work of NCCSS. We need extraordinary social studies educators like you to help lead this professional organization. The typical commitment is 4 to 5 Saturday virtual meetings per year, and board members are expected to purchase a membership for the National Council for Social Studies (approximately $75). The NCCSS will cover your NCCSS Conference registration fees if your school or organization is unable to do so. If you’ve ever thought about getting involved with our organization on the state level, here’s your chance!
