| NACM was founded as a non-profit corporation in 1990 in conjunction with the first national case management conference held in Cincinnati. The NACM founders were concerned that there was no professional association to encourage, train and support the emerging practice of case management. In 1990 case managers came from many educational backgrounds and this is still true today. Then and now, Very few colleges and universities prepare their students specifically for a career in case management. Yet, even in 1990, early evaluation of the burgeoning practice of case management was beginning to show positive outcomes for people served by case managers. NACM's founders believed that it was critically important to both support and train case managers and to promote the practice of case management. |
