Message from Craig McKee, president
National Cathedral Association
Dear National Cathedral Association Members and Friends,
As a member of the National Cathedral Association, you are a part of a strong national network of friends and volunteers that have led the way as essential partners in providing the resources to build the Cathedral during its 83 years of construction. NCA members have always been change agents, adapting to meet the needs of the Cathedral in each phase of its life, from helping to create Cathedral Age magazine to launching new networks of friends to spread the Cathedral’s ministry across the nation.
As we begin a new century of service, the NCA is once again adapting and helping others find ways to support the ministry of the nation’s cathedral. With the support and guidance of the NCA Board of Trustees, the Cathedral has launched a new Partners in Mission program, consolidating NCA membership dues and other annual unrestricted contributions to the Cathedral into one dynamic new program. While the work and mission of the National Cathedral Association is not changing, your annual membership dues will join all unrestricted gifts to the Cathedral to make an even bigger impact.
So what does this mean for you as an NCA member? Your NCA membership will now be recognized through our Partners in Mission program. You will receive a new “Partner Card,” which will replace your NCA membership card as the device through which you will receive many of the same benefits as well as a few additional opportunities.
Outside of the contribution the NCA has made through membership dues, we will continue to have a network of regional and national volunteers that will conduct the good work it always has for the Cathedral. Our new Partners Program will simply provide all friends of Washington National Cathedral the opportunity to support our efforts, thereby increasing the Cathedral’s national presence. We invite you to lead the way once again and become a Partner of Washington National Cathedral.
Your continued support of Washington National Cathedral through our Partners in Mission program will help the Cathedral live into a new century, a new calling and help us fulfill our mission as a catalyst for hope, healing, and reconciliation into our next 100 years. Supporting the Cathedral financially through this new program will not affect your NCA connection. Regardless of the amount you give to support the Cathedral's ministry, you will remain a colleague in the NCA and a treasured friend of the Cathedral.
