Save the Date: Better Together over a foggy background with pine trees

Combined NECHA/NYSCHA 2025 Annual Meeting

Basin Harbor Resort
Vergennes, VT
October 15-17, 2025

We are thrilled to announce that the 2025 NECHA/NSYCHA Combined Annual meeting will be hosted at Basin Harbor Resort in Vergennes, VT October 15-17, 2025 and Registration is now LIVE!

Better Together

This year’s theme, “Better, Together” represents the transformative impact of interdisciplinary collaboration. Whether it is integration across departments to provide more informed and high quality student care, innovative professional collaboration that strengthens relationships, or navigating growth edges to achieve a shared goal or vision, together we are stronger than the sum of our parts.  

Date and Location Update

**Due to unforeseen circumstances with our original venue, the location and dates of our Combined Annual Meeting have changed**

The new location remains in Northerm Vermont, is closer to New York, right on Lake Champlain, and offers both traditional guest rooms and multi-bedroom cottages with water views, fireplaces, and decks. Attendees will have access to complementary amenities including canoes, kayaks, paddleboards, biking and hiking trails, lawn games, and the waterfront. The mid-October dates also put us within range of peak foliage in Vermont which should make for a gorgeous on-site experience and warmer temperatures to make the most of this beautiful and expansive property.

Registration is open online with Early Bird Rates in effect! We encourage attendees to reserve their accommodations at Basin Harbor Resort as soon as possible to maximize their lodging choices either online or by calling 800.622.4000 and referencing the New England College Health Association to ensure that you are accessing the Annual Meeting rate. Our 2025 Combined Annual Meeting website will be the definitive location for updates, announcements, program details, and CEU information.
