The Advisory Board is a NASPA committee. Its mandate is to advise the Executive Committee, act as an appellate body for the rulings of Working Committtees, and to act as a general disciplinary body for association members. To contact the committee, please send an email message to naspa-advisoryboard@yahoogroups.com.
Members
The following members currently belong to the committee:
Composition
The members of the Executive Committee sit on the AB as ex officio members, and its cochairs (the NASPA copresidents) are the AB's cochairs.
Beginning in 2011, some AB members have been chosen through elections.
Since 2015, the AB has consisted of six elected members (five regional: US Northeast, US South, US Midwest, US West, and Canada, and one at large seat), and six appointed seats, where outgoing members recommend successors from their region.
The 2018 Advisory Board Elections will elect US Northeast, US Midwest, and Canada members of the Advisory Board.
The appointed seats on the board are selected by the Executive Committee, taking into consideration the recommendations of outgoing members and the need for balance of all kinds in the composition of the board.
From time to time, the AB elevates long-serving members to emeritus status. Emeritus members do not attend the AB's regular meetings, but may be consulted occasionally in areas of their expertise.
History
The Advisory Board was transferred from the NSA to NASPA on February 15th, 2009.
The composition of the AB over the years under NASPA is available at this website.
Rulings
Beginning in 2010, significant AB motions have been numbered mostly sequentially in order of their conception. When such motions are passed, they result in an AB ruling. A complete list of AB Rulings is available at this website.
Other Activities
In April 2015, the Board introduced the first NASPA IDEA Grants - opportunities for NASPA members to apply for small grants to fund new initiatives.
The Board monitors the NASPA Member Concerns Facebook group for issues of concerns to the NASPA membership.
The Board is responsible for choosing the annual Michael Wise Memorial Person of the Year.
In October 2017, the Board created the position of Community Advocate to provide a safe environment for members reporting cases of sexual harassment within the association.
