Position

The Regional Council is an unpaid advisory council for NCAP. Council members support the work of NCAP and provide mission-based leadership, strategic advisory services, and development support. While day-to-day operations are led by NCAP’s Director of Regional Programs, the Council-Director relationship is a partnership, and the appropriate involvement of the Regional Council is both critical and expected. The Regional Council is distinct from NCAP’s Board of Directors in that the Regional Council provides guidance and leadership but does not have fiduciary or governance responsibilities. Specific Regional Council Member responsibilities include:

• Serving on committees or task forces and taking on special assignments
