Committees

NAA committees are established to assist in the governance of NAA. They represent, involve, and serve members while providing a framework for educating future leaders of the association. They promote member participation in problem-solving and provide a forum for the many interests within the association, utilizing the experience, knowledge, and skills of our members. Each committee focuses on a single area, discusses relevant issues and may present action items to the Board of Directors. 

Call for Volunteer Interest Application Opens June 2024

The submission period for the 2024 Volunteer year has ended. For inquiries regarding service in 2025, or for further information, please email Leanne Shroeder, Director of Governance.
