The NAEP needs “You” to serve as an elected at-large Board Member

NAEP is a voluntary association headed by a Board of Directors. The Board is composed of 12 At-Large elected members from the environmental field, four ex-officio members, and one chapter representative for each 150 NAEP members in the Chapter. All serve without compensation. Each year prior to the annual conference, 4 At-Large Board Members are elected to serve a three-year term of office. At-large Board Members are expected to attend all of the quarterly board meetings and the annual conference.  All NAEP At-Large Board Members must be NAEP General Members. 

The Board establishes policy for the NAEP and the Managing Director assists the Board in implementing all of the programs and practices of the Association. The Managing Director, as well as the Conference Coordinator, Membership Coordinator, and the Editorial Staff and Publishers of Environmental Practice are responsible to the Board. 

The NAEP Board of Directors meets four times each year at various locations around the country. At-large Board Members are expected to attend all of the quarterly board meetings and the annual meeting. 

Each Board meets for the first time at the end of the annual conference immediately after the installation of officers. The Board meets again at various locations around the country approximately 3, 6, and 9 months after the annual conference. As a voluntary association, there is no reimbursement for travel expenses or the other costs associated with being on the Board of Directors.  

Between Board meetings, the Board of Directors is represented by a five-member Executive Committee. The Executive Committee meets at the discretion of the NAEP President, normally twice-monthly by conference calls.
