NAPPA - Join Us

What Makes NAPPA Different

Other groups focus on advocacy or capital providers. NAPPA focuses on the people who run programs, protect public interest, and keep C-PACE credible.

1

Capital pressure management

Access strategies, language, and templates to handle aggressive capital provider demands while protecting program rules and public goals.

2

Data control and transparency

Stay in control of program data. NAPPA surfaces standards and guidance so administrators don’t lose visibility into their own markets.

3

Practical, administrator-first tools

Model contracts, state comparisons, and templates built from real-world implementation, not theory. Everything is designed to plug into your operations.

Why Join Now

The PACE landscape is shifting. Joining NAPPA doesn’t mean leaving the movement, it means strengthening it with an administrator-led center of gravity.

A

Your role at the center

NAPPA is built by administrators, for administrators. You get a direct voice in the tools, standards, and practices that define your work.

B

Aligned, not competing

We respect PACENation and C-PACE Alliance. NAPPA complements them by focusing on implementation, governance, and operations, not just advocacy.

C

It’s okay to move on

If current forums no longer meet your needs, NAPPA offers a place to redirect your time, dues, and energy into something built around your actual responsibilities.
