A new
organizational structure for the association became a reality
at the close of the 2002 National Conference on October 2,
2002. The new governing structure was developed to encourage
more involvement by the members through increased leadership
positions and increased decision making outside the Board of
Directors. In a nutshell, Regions, Commissions, and Committees
comprise three Divisions respectively. These Divisions are
each represented on the NACADA Council by two representatives.
The NACADA Council reviews recommendations and issues brought
forward from the respective Divisions and either approves
them for implementation or designates them for further study
by the Division or forwards them to the Board for approval.
The Board of Directors focuses
on maintaining a dynamic Strategic Plan for the organization
and overseeing the financial condition of the organization.
Items forwarded from the Council will be approved based
on their "fit" with the
Strategic Plan and their financial impact on the Association.
It is hoped that this new structure will be more efficient
and participatory. To ensure these elements, members are
needed to serve on the various governing bodies within this
structure - regional steering committees, Commission steering
committees, and Administrative Committees. Positions are
for 1 or 2-year terms initially to provide for continuity
with staggered terms.
If you are interested in volunteering
for such a position, please complete the online Volunteer
Information Form. If
you are interested in a particular leadership role, refer
to the "Operational Guidelines" section for each
NACADA division (found under "Leadership Information" in
the column to your left).
We NEED YOU!!!
