She provides administrative support to Board, masterminds the "Napcrg University" including planning all the promotions, designs meeting postcards and signs. She also has the yummy job of creating the wine tasting "Menu."

Priscilla Noland
Priscilla has all of the answers! She answers each and every email and phone call from our 750+ attendees, explains how to get a shuttle, how to ship a poster, what to pack for Banff, etc., etc., etc. She helps with hotel arrangements, meeting planning and staffs the Program committee. She also organizes the submission and review system and recruits volunteers to review and moderate sessions.

Pop Culture in Seattle

We all know Seattle’s well known for its of software and coffee, but is also responsible for some serious American popular culture, ranging from music to sci-fi. The Frank Gehry-designed Experience Music Project (EMP) offers 140,000 square feet dedicated to the exploration of creativity and innovation in popular music. By blending interpretative, interactive exhibitions with cutting-edge technology, EMP captures and reflects the essence of rock 'n' roll, its roots in jazz, soul, gospel, country and the blues, as well as rock's influence on hip-hop, punk and other recent genres. Visitors can view rare artifacts and memorabilia and experience the creative process by listening to musicians tell their own stories.

Also housed in the same stunning building you’ll find the Science Fiction Museum & Hall of Fame, the first of its kind in the world. The Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame spans 13,000 square feet and includes artifacts that represent science fiction’s influence on popular culture, including interactive exhibits and replicas from a wide range of art, film and literature.

Why should you visit the Experience Music Project and Science Fiction Museum? Where else could you see Janis Joplin’s feather boa, Elvis’s motorcycle jacket and memorabilia from the Battlestar Galactica under one roof?

Museum of Flight

The Museum of Flight showcases its collection of more than 150 historic air and spacecraft and related artifacts in unique and inspiring exhibits. There is something for everyone to experience in these dynamic displays presenting events that have carried us from Kitty Hawk to the Moon. The gallery is something to behold... more than 25 planes in one room, including jets and commercial airliners, vintage planes, a couple of flight simulators, etc. Sit in the cockpit of a real fighter jet. And outside, you can actually tour an old Air Force One...the same one that Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon, as well as VIPs such as Nikita Khrushchev and Henry Kissinger rode.

The Museum of Flight is located just 10 minutes south of downtown is a definite must see for any aviation or space enthusiast.
