Committees
The vital work of NASCA is conceived and executed by operating committees comprised of volunteer state and corporate members and supported by association staff. These include both governance and standing committees that operate on a July 1 - June 30 fiscal year.
Interested in volunteering? Complete our Volunteer Sign-up Form to let us know on which current committee you'd like to serve. A call for volunteers for the next program year will be sent out highlighting any changes or additions to the committees/workgroups. Committee meeting materials and scheduling information is all shared through NASCA Collaborate, our online community.
