Be Aware of Scams
NCDA Headquarters has become aware of several phishing scams being sent to NCDA members from fake accounts using our board members names. (Requests for "gift" cards or the use of unusual email addresses are a clue that it is not legitimate.) Please simply delete these types of scam emails. NCDA will never solicit money or contributions in this manner.

A Case Study Approach to Ethics on Sale in September
A Case Study Approach to Ethics in Career Development, 2nd Edition (Makela & Perlus, 2017)
The second edition tackles some of the most vexing questions that career development professionals encounter today. Using a case study design, it offers a hands-on experience with ethical terminology, resources, and issues. Each dilemma presented includes detailed, guided discussion of key issues and recommendations, with direct connections to the 2015 NCDA Code of Ethics. As a result, the often intimidating topics of ethics and professional standards are made accessible to career development professionals at all levels - beginners-in-training who are navigating difficult situations for the first time, seasoned professionals who are expanding their learning through shared experiences with colleagues, and everyone-in-between. This second edition presents current literature, eight new cases and "serves as an essential resource for practicing career professionals and students in professional preparation programs."
Only $20 for the print or ebook (PDF).
