Committees of the Membership and Officer Descriptions

If you are a person who wants to take action now, join a committee. If you want to help guide the NPA’s decisions, we recommend that you get to know the organization by participating in a committee before seeking a position on the Board of Directors.

The four Committees of the Membership are Advocacy, Meetings, Outreach, and Resource Development.  The Diversity and International Officers ensure inclusion of these important issues in all of our activities.  Two liaisons from the Board and Staff sit on each committee to help facilitate communication between committees, the Board, and the Staff.

Committee meet by teleconference about once a month.  The NPA forums and e-mails play a large role in the committee communication.
