As we begin 2026, I am so excited to welcome you to a new year with the NEW ENGLAND RELOCATION ASSOCIATION INC (NERA). This year, we’re centering our work on two pillars at the heart of our mission: Community & Education. These themes reflect the shared spirit of everyone who makes NERA such a special organization.

In the evolving world of Talent Mobility, having a supportive community is everything. Community is about belonging, the power of collaboration, and the strength we find when we share our purpose. Education, on the other hand, is our momentum - it’s about staying curious, expanding our expertise, and finding the solutions that help us better support the individuals and families we serve every day. When we bring these two forces together, we create a lasting impact on our profession and our organizations.

To our sponsors and members: thank you for shaping NERA through your commitment and your voice! You are the reason this community thrives. And to those considering joining us - there is a place for you here. This is the year to invest in your professional growth, broaden your network, and learn alongside peers who are truly invested in your success.

We are thrilled to kick off our year of learning and connection at NERA’s 2026 Spring Conference on May 6, 2026, at the beautiful Granite Links, in Quincy, MA. I truly hope you’ll join us as we gather to catch up, share insights, and raise a glass to a great year ahead - one filled with connection, learning, and collaboration. I can’t wait to see you there!

Warmly,
Michele Brescia
President, NERA
