CSN is now a proud member of the National Institute for Staff and Organizational Development (NISOD).  We are excited to be able to join a network of dedicated institutions committed to the professional development of community and technical college educators, staff, and administrators.

What Is NISOD?

NISOD is a consortium of community and technical colleges committed to promoting and celebrating excellence in teaching, learning, and leadership. NISOD has been serving members for more than 40 years through benefits that focus on the three Rs—resources, recognition, and relationships.

What Does a NISOD Membership Provide to CSN Employees?

Resources

• More than 24 faculty-focused webinars each year.
• Bi-monthly issues of Innovation Abstracts, a publication written by practitioners for practitioners.
• On-demand access to a learning repository of 40+ years’ worth of webinars, publications, podcasts, and more.

Recognition

• The Most Promising Places to Work in Community Colleges Award recognizes community and technical colleges’ exceptional commitments to diversity.
• NISOD’s Student Contests provide the opportunity for students to showcase their personal journeys and talents while highlighting the impact individual faculty and staff have on their success.
