Founded in 1969 as the National Association of College Auxiliary Services, NACAS is a professional trade association that supports the non-academic segment of higher education responsible for generating business through a diverse array of campus services that students need and value – such as food services, bookstores, housing, and transportation.

NACAS memberships are group memberships, which means that any employee of a member institution or business partner can access NACAS online benefits and member rates (or free access when applicable) to professional development opportunities.
