ICTA has maintained a close relationship with these two professional communication associations for about as long as all have existed:

"The National Communication Association (NCA) is a not-for-profit, membership-based scholarly society founded in 1914" (from the NCA website): https://www.natcom.org/

NCA offers a variety of resources. This link currently offers resources for K-12, college, and university teachers.

The "Central States Communication Association (CSCA) is an academic organization of communication professionals including college and university professors, students, and K-12 educators" (from the CSCA website): https://csca-net.org/
