NCAPSE Board of Directors
The board of directors of NCAPSE consists of fourteen representatives who are elected by the membership at large.
The term of office for a board member is three years. After each three-year term, board members who desire to continue to serve on the board must be re-elected by the membership. Board membership is strictly voluntary and members of the board are not paid for their service.
The executive board consists of the officers of the governing board and includes the president, vice president, treasurer and secretary. NCAPSE strives to secure board members from each of the three regions (east, central and west) of the state.
