About NaSPA

Scott Sherer founded NaSPA, the Network and Systems Professionals Association, in 1986. NaSPA originally stood for National Systems Programmers Association, but the name was changed in 1997 to reflect the evolving nature of IT.

Throughout its 21-year history, NaSPA has continually provided its members with the foremost in services and benefits, including peer networking, member discounts, job placement, and technical information. In 1987, NaSPA began publishing Technical Support magazine, a comprehensive how-to publication that focused on mainframe systems. In the 1990s it expanded the coverage of the publication to include topics that affect network and distributed systems professionals. Currently NaSPA is moving to a portal model where articles are no longer confined to a monthly magazine, providing faster and fresher content delivery to its readers and members. NaSTEC, NaSPA's annual conference, allows members to meet face-to-face, attend educational sessions, and share ideas and issues that shape the IT profession.

NaSPA is the networking resource for Network and Systems Professionals!
