Board of Directors

NACAC is governed by a Board of Directors, experts elected by an Assembly of delegates who are voting members of the national organization or one of its 23 affiliated organizations.  The Board of Directors, led by the Executive Committee of the board, has full power, direction, and authority over the affairs of the Association. 


The board is advised by professionals who serve on a NACAC committee of the board, a national standing or special committee, commission, or task force appointed by the  members of the board, to support well-informed and strategic decision-making.
