Volunteer Committees

NACRO thrives from the participation of its members, principally through its Board of Directors and four standing committees, all of which benefit from a broad and diverse set of participants. If you're interested in joining a committee, please email [email protected]. In the meantime, we encourage you to watch our Volunteering with NACRO video below!

For more information on the structure of our organization, please review the following policies and procedures document, which was approved by the NACRO Board of Directors in July 2012.

Benchmarking Committee

The Benchmarking Committee generates meaningful data, publications, and other materials through a variety of tools that can be utilized by Members.

Communications Committee

The committee will manage a monthly calendar and inform the other committees of upcoming messaging needs based on the cadence of previous years and new content creation.

Membership Committee

This committee will also recognize Members for their years of membership and volunteer contributions, as well as overseeing networking opportunities.

Professional Education Committee
