Our Committees
The work of the NSBA is driven and supported by the efforts of its volunteer Committees, which are made up of community-minded NSBA members.
Getting Involved
The NSBA has nine Committees that support the NSBA’s events and lobbying and advocacy efforts. Each Committee consists of approximately ten volunteers from the NSBA membership who provide leadership, expertise, and dedication in their chosen area of policy or event planning.
