The CNSW National Membership elects most of the members of the Executive Committee. Committee members also serve on various ad hoc committees to develop special projects and position papers to further the goals, priorities, and interests of CNSW.
The Executive Committee members are listed below. Please feel free to contact your Region Representative or any other Executive Committee member at any time to provide us with your ideas, to volunteer for a special project, or whenever you need additional information . There are five CNSW regions. Determine your region representative.
The effectiveness of the Executive Committee is directly related to knowing and responding to the needs of Local Chapters and Members.
