Be Aware of Scams
NCDA Headquarters has become aware of several phishing scams being sent to NCDA members from fake accounts using our board members names. (Requests for "gift" cards or the use of unusual email addresses are a clue that it is not legitimate.) Please simply delete these types of scam emails. NCDA will never solicit money or contributions in this manner.
