Hello NAKHE Members:
The spring conference season in upon us. We have a diverse membership in NAKHE who span varied kinesiology program areas.

Tell people about the LDW and DHTC, promote our 2025 conference in beautiful Puerto Rico. This is an amazing organization, and our members are our greatest promoters! Be well my friends.
I encourage everyone to take advantage of our upcoming 2024 Leadership Development Workshop and Department Head Certification Training.
Thank you, members, for your continued participation and enthusiasm in our professional community. It is all of you who make NAKHE such a special organization.
