NSN is overseen by a Board of Directors and is managed by an Executive Committee comprised of six chapter officers and six committee chairs. We encourage new members to seek positions on one or more of the committees.
Not only will the dedication of time and effort benefit the organization, but also will allow you to assess and improve such critical skills as organization, communication, the ability to work on a team and generally allow you to help chart the direction of the organization.
