NASC Committees

NASC committees provide opportunities for member involvement in decisions that affect your Association. Committees meet via conference call as often as necessary to discuss issues pertinent to the successful operation of the Association. Each committee is chaired by a member of the Board of Directors who, along with a NASC staff member, will be present on each call and report back to the board on the developments within their committee. We strive to provide you with an exceptional experience, so before joining a committee, we ask that you review the requirements and committee descriptions below.
Requirements
Committee members are volunteers, but we look for our committee members to meet via conference call between six (6) and 12 times yearly or as needed. Calls are generally 30 minutes in length.
Each committee has a standing committee call scheduled. See below for conference call schedules.
If you need to miss more than one conference call, we ask that you refrain from participating on a committee until there is a time that works better for your schedule.
The NASC reserves the right to remove inactive committee members who have not participated in any committee calls within a 12 month time frame.
