The National Conference of State Societies (NCSS) exists to support, unify, and promote the efforts of State and Territorial Societies in the National Capital Region. As a congressionally-chartered nonprofit umbrella organization, NCSS fosters collaboration among these societies to celebrate regional heritage, encourage civic and cultural engagement, and provide meaningful educational and exchange opportunities. By honoring the unique identities of all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. territories, we strengthen national unity through the diverse voices of our member societies.
