Regional Vice President
Regional Vice Presidents; Immediate Past Chair serving on the Executive Committee; the Chair of the Board, Chair-Elect, Vice-Chair, Treasurer and Secretary; the NSC Chair; the NAAEI President; and no more than four (4) at-large individuals selected by the Chair of the Board and approved by the Executive Committee.
Regional Vice President alternates, Association Executive Council President; NAA President; Legislative Chair; Apartmentalize Conference Committee Chair(s); Membership Committee Chair; Independent Rental Owners Committee Chair, NAAPAC BOT Chair, NAAPAC Ambassadors Chair, and others as approved by voting Board members.
Board Members are expected to attend all annual board meetings, having reviewed written meeting material beforehand and be prepared to discuss the items on the agenda. They should support and promote NAA programs and products and seek to improve the association.
These Board Members reflect NAA’s preference for proportional geographic representation for its members. Unlike other NAA board members, the RVPs are elected by delegates from their respective regions and they preside over the regional meetings. They are expected to be conversant with the status and activities of the affiliated associations in their region. RVPs also appoint NAA members from their region to serve on NAA standing committees.
