Dr. Melanie Loehwing has been appointed to the National Communication Association's IDEA Strategic Plan Task Force, a 10-member committee charged with producing a strategic plan for inclusion, diversity, equity, and access for the organization.

The NCA IDEA Strategic Plan Task Force will conduct its work through virtual meetings, a discussion forum held at the 107th NCA Convention in Seattle in November 2021, and a presentation of the strategic plan to the NCA Legislative Assembly in 2022. The task force's goal is to "address how our association can be responsive and transformative in this historical juncture when questions of justice and representation dominate both our national conversations as well as our professional and institutional inquires and actions."
