Our plans for the next two years will be developing a Strategic Plan, incorporating the new organizational structure of NSCDA, as well as the By-Law changes, increasing our membership, preparing for our 125th Anniversary of NSCDA-West Virginia in 2025, preparing for the 250th Anniversary of our Nation in 2026, continuing to work closely with Craik-Patton, Inc., and Craik-Patton House Foundation, Inc. and continuing to work with our members and friends in supporting our Mission Statement of promoting our National heritage through historic preservation, patriotic service, and educational programs.
