About NACEPThe National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships (NACEP) works to ensure that college courses offered by high school teachers are as rigorous as courses offered on the sponsoring college campus. As the sole accrediting body for concurrent enrollment partnerships, NACEP helps these programs adhere to the highest standards so students experience a seamless transition to college and teachers benefit from meaningful, ongoing professional development. To advance the field and support our national network of members, we actively share the latest knowledge about best practices, research, and advocacy. Our annual conference is the premier destination for college officials, high school leaders, policymakers, and researchers interested in creating an effective academic bridge between high school and college.National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment PartnershipsNACEP_39edc6c0-9f44-11e4-b521-f968c84e4dfaNACEP Board of DirectorsAs the legislative body of NACEP, the Board of Directors sets policy and provides strategic direction for the organization.
