Committees
The important work of NASCA is conceived and executed by business and operating committees comprised of volunteer state and corporate members and supported by association staff. In addition to the Governance Committees, NASCA has standing committees and workgroups.
Interested in volunteering? Complete our Volunteer Sign-up Form and let us know on which current committee or working group you'd like to serve. A call for volunteers for the next program year will be sent out each November highlighting any changes or additions to the committees/workgroups. Committee meeting materials and scheduling information is all shared through NASCA Collaborate, our online community.
