NCURA Region II 2026 Regional Meeting Announcement
and Call for Volunteers
NCURA Region II is excited to announce that our 2026 Regional Meeting will be held at the Gideon Putnam Resort in Saratoga Springs, NY, from November 8--11, 2026! Stay tuned to emails, Facebook, and our Region II website in the coming weeks and months for information concerning registration, hotel blocks, and more!
In the meantime, if you are looking for a way to get involved with NCURA Region II, consider joining this year’s Program Committee! We are searching for approximately 20 to 25 volunteers who are able to attend regular conference calls and otherwise assist behind the scenes in shaping this year’s conference in Saratoga. Volunteers are involved in such activities as reviewing and choosing the sessions for each track, organizing the fun events, and helping with meeting logistics.
The Program Committee meets once per month, and subcommittees will meet 1-2 times per month as needed.
If you are interested in volunteering or have questions, please email our Program Chair Anna Dampf at dampf@alumni.upenn.edu or Program Co-Chair Stephanie Alfieri at stephanie.alfieri@einsteinmed.edu by April 10, 2026.
Shout out to our Region II members who continue to publish impactful articles on all aspects of research administration!
