Leadership

As an individual membership, professional society, NCMA is led by volunteer members who are elected officers. Leadership occurs on the national, regional, and chapter levels.

The Board of Directors is the primary, national governing body. The Board consists of 25 Directors, including the 5 Officers, 12 Directors elected by NCMA's chapter presidents, 6 Directors elected by the Board of Directors, the Executive Director, and the general counsel.

The Board appoints Committees to provide assistance in the accomplishment of NCMA's goals and objectives. In addition, the Board of Advisors provides senior executive counsel on issues of importance to the profession.

The Council of Fellows is a prestigious group of NCMA members who have made significant contributions to the field of contracting/acquisition and to NCMA. Their greatest responsibility is the development of future leaders for the organization. The fellow designation is the third highest national award given by NCMA.

The chapters are also led by volunteers. Each chapter has a president, treasurer, and secretary, and many have other elected officers. NCMA provides an excellent opportunity for leadership experience in an organization run by volunteers. The chapters are organized into seven regions.
