About NAGC Networks (formerly called Divisions)
Do you have a special interest within the broader field of gifted and talented education? Looking to make connections and build a community with others who share these interests? Good news... NAGC has a home for you!
NAGC Networks (formerly called Divisions) exist to explore special issues and concerns related to the primary emphasis of that Network within the NAGC. In addition to building a special community for its subset of NAGC members, each Network supports the mission, purposes, and goals of NAGC through its activities. Networks also provide valuable input to the NAGC national convention each year by recommending proposals and topics for their own dedicated strand.
14 Communities
Get Involved
How can you get involved? You may join any or all of the Networks and participate with colleagues in working on issues of special interest to you. Network membership costs $10 per Network per year; however, you must be an NAGC member first before you can join any of the Networks. What do you receive in return? In addition to a community of people who share your specific interests, Network members receive periodic newsletter updates and access to special activities during the NAGC Annual Convention.

Network Elections
The elections process for Network Leadership coincides with NAGC Board elections. New terms begin September 1st.
Special Interest Groups (SIGs)
NAGC now has created another way to address special issues and concerns related to gifted and talented education such as information about identification, support services and/or research related to gifted children--Special Interest Groups (SIGs). In addition, these groups provide a more targeted avenue for NAGC members to build smaller, more specialized communities within gifted education.
