Interest Networks

What is an Interest Network?

An Interest Network is a community of members who share a common interest or passion. Through Interest Networks, members meet in person and virtually to stay informed and create relationships through engagement around a particular issue.

Interest Network Structure

Each NCTA Interest Network has the following organizational structure:

  • Participation in any Network is open to all employees of NCTA member companies/organizations.  Interested employees can notify NCTA staff to be added to the ALERT list for any/all Interest Networks to be informed of any related information and upcoming meetings.
  • Each Network will have a Steering Committee, of at least 6 and no more than 10, each of who’s employers will sponsor at $500 annually (some Networks have additional sponsorship levels for specific meetings/activities – see the individual Network pages on this site for those details, or contact the NCTA staffer identified on each Network page).
  • The Steering Committee will work with NCTA staff to guide programming for any meetings/activities hosted by that Network, and also help feed content for other NCTA programming where the Network’s subject matter is relevant.

For further questions about the structure of NCTA Networks, contact Alison Gordon by email or at 919-890-0773.
