Committees & Sections
NASPAA committee and section meetings are a meaningful way to network with your peers, share best practices and engage in your area of interest. Meetings are open to everyone.
Committees/ Sections
Committees are appointed by the NASPAA President (unless otherwise directed in the NASPAA Bylaws); they are given a charge by the Executive Council and are expected to report back to the council annually on their charge.
Sections are self-governing. Any NASPAA member who is interested in a section topic may participate in the section meetings. Sections are established for three years by the Executive Council on the petition of 25% percent of the member institutions. The Council reviews a Section every three years to determine whether to extend its life for another three years. Sections draft their own operating guidelines for approval by the Executive Council as governed by the NASPAA Bylaws.
