NCHA Committee Policies and Procedures
NCHA committees are based on specific topic areas that require sustained action by the Association. NCHA management may create new member policy committees in policy priority areas that are approved by the Board for the annual legislative and policy priorities.
NCHA task forces are like policy committees with the exception that they are limited in scope and duration. Task forces may originate from NCHA management and must be approved by the NCHA President and CEO. If sustained action is required, the task force may evolve into a policy committee.
Workgroups are established by policy committees to address more technical items related to the broader topic area. As such, the policy committee will determine the scope, membership, and duration of the workgroup. Workgroups report directly to the policy committee.
- The Board is the only body that can establish
the Association’s policy positions and
legislative priorities. - Member groups have a responsibility to
inform, advise, and recommend action to
the Board in support of the Board’s
established positions and direction. - The Board may direct member groups and
member groups may recommend new
action or positions for Board consideration
and approval.
