COVID-19 | NDBA

Just as you are open for business, so is NDBA. While the NDBA staff is currently working remotely, they are always available via phone or email during normal business hours. The staff directory may be found here.

All in-person seminars, workshops and conferences through the summer have been canceled or rescheduled. We are always proud to offer a comprehensive catalog of webinars and other virtual learning opportunities. Visit the Education to browse upcoming opportunities.

Thank you so much for all you are doing to support our state and its people. We will come through this together! Stay healthy and we hope to see you in person one day soon.
