About NACC

The National Association of Call Centers (NACC) was established in 2005 as a 501(c)(6) not-for-profit membership organization. As our motto states, we are “The Leading Voice for the Call Center Industry.” The NACC’s goal is to advance the call center industry by offering high value-added information, research, and products to its members for effective decision making.

History
The NACC is an outgrowth of unique call center research occuring at the Call Center Research Laboratory at the University of Southern Mississippi. The NACC was created as a mechanism to disseminate high quality value-added research from the Call Center Research Lab to stake holders within the call center industry. A relationship between the Call Center Research Lab and the NACC continues to benefit both organizations.

Mission
The purpose of the non-profit is to unite call centers; to promote and maintain high standards of practice; to assist in the maintenance of standards for the industry; to promote the interests of call centers; to develop and improve the education of its members; and to encourage cordial relations between call centers.
