Learn more about how NASAP functions internally
Council of Representatives
NASAP is governed by a Council of Representatives comprised of NASAP members serving in positions on the Board of Directors, as Section Representatives, or as Affiliate Representatives. These three groups have their own pages (click on More above) where you can learn about the members currently serving in these positions.
Board of Directors
The Board of Directors has four positions (President-Elect, who then serves as President and Past-President over a 5-year term, Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary) that are elected by the general membership of NASAP and then two liaison positions (Sections Liaison and Affiliates Liaison) that are elected by the groups they represent. Each of the Board positions, besides President-Elect, serves a two-year term.
Sections
Section Representatives, also called Section Co-Chairs, are elected by the members of each special interest section.
They serve 3-year terms on the Council of Representatives.
Affiliate Groups
The Affiliate Representatives are appointed or elected by the affiliate group they represent.
They also serve a three-year term on the Council of Representatives.
