In 2001, the Faculty Advisors Commission was formed because faculty are the largest group of college and university professionals who have advising as part of their contract/teaching responsibilities. However, because most faculty use their time and budget to attend their respective professional meetings, the commission has been established to assist and train faculty members for their advising responsibilities. Through its web page, e-mail list, and NACADA-sponsored workshops, the commission intends to focus on faculty needs and provide information and materials to aid commission members in their advising arenas.

In 2005, the name of the commission was changed to "Faculty Advising Commission" to open up membership in the commission to those who interact with faculty advisors (administrators, academic counselors, etc.) but are not actually faculty themselves.
