The Commission and Interest Group Division (CIGD) represents members with special advising areas of interest, and is comprised of all current commissions and interest groups that are represented on the NACADA Council by two Division Representatives. Commissions are charged with proposing and facilitating activities, networking, and providing resources to advance the professional development of members while focusing on the specific area of the Commission. Interest Groups are created when there is a need to focus on specific issues or represent a particular interest of NACADA members, and have no formal governance role--but have the option to move to Commission status if and when they are ready to contribute to the organization by providing additional programs to the members.

In the fall of 1993, NACADA reorganized to feature "Commissions" as a primary method for membership involvement in the organization designed to focus on specific areas of interest within the academic advising field. Commissions usually evolve after initially forming as "Interest Groups". The NACADA National Board reorganization in 2001-2002 resulted in the creation of the Commission and Interest Group Division.
