Our Governance

NAPO has a governing Board of Directors composed of volunteer members who have full authority and accountability for the association. In accordance with NAPO Bylaws, the Board of Directors have responsibility for the supervision, control, and direction of the affairs of the association. They decide association policy, set business goals, approve plans, and monitor their progress.

Directors are assigned by NAPO’s President to serve as Board Liaisons to NAPO’s numerous national committees, which are led and staffed by NAPO members on a volunteer basis. Committees serve a vital role in NAPO’s long-term success by supporting the mission and the priorities set in the annual strategic plan.

NAPO is professionally managed by Ewald Consulting, a charter accredited association management company, alongside a small staff team. The NAPO HQ Team provides professional consultation and implements the goals and visions set forth by the Board of Directors according to best practice standards in the association management industry.
