NPA Governance

Officer Elections

NPA officers are elected annually by electronic ballot distributed to all Full, Retired, and Lifetime Members.

The NPA Nominations Committee is appointed each November and selects the annual slate of candidates for officer and regional positions. The final slate is presented to the Board by February 27, and ballots are distributed March 1. Officers serve from May 1 through April 30 of the following year.

Committees & Volunteers

Committee and initiative chairs are appointed by the current President. Committee members are volunteers who work with chairs to support projects and initiatives.
