About
The Emerald Coast Academic Advising Network (ECAAN) started to develop in 2017 when a group of advisors connected to talk about advising issues which impact the Emerald Coast differently than the rest of Florida. It was decided to pursue the development of a new organization that would connect advisors from across the Emerald Coast region for professional development and networking. A steering committee was formed in 2018 to develop the structure, leadership team, and plan the first conference. The organization has officially launched...and we cannot wait to see where this goes!
A successful inaugural conference was held in the Fall of 2018 on the campus of the University of West Florida. Since that time we have been able to hold annual conferences or virtual events every year to meet the needs of our members.
