The conference consists of two-year and four-year schools from Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and New York State.[1] The conference hosted its first championships in the 2008–09 season, and in 2011, the conference expanded to include Hampshire College and four new members from the disbanded Sunrise Athletic Conference of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA).[1]
