The National Career Development Association has launched a survey to gain insight into the impact of recent executive orders. Collecting this data will ensure NCDA GR has an understanding of the scope of impact these policies have on our members as well as collecting quotes of our members' voices on these issues to potentially use as a resource in NCDA's advocacy. The survey is open to all NCDA and OCDA members.
