Membership
We are looking for members from across the seventeen-state region to join the leadership of NACM Connect through volunteering on the Board of Directors or one of the many committees. Interested in throwing in for the Board of Directors? Fill out the form (see below), submit it to Lillian Novak and she will send you a Candidate Profile for your official submission to the Nominating Committee. All forms must be submitted by their respective deadlines for consideration. Members elected to the BOD not from the Chicago area will be partially subsidized for travel to quarterly meetings. Committee volunteers are needed across the board, particularly for help in planning our educational offerings. The annual meeting and conference agendas are driven by the committees guiding staff through what they would like to see offered at these events. If you haven’t attended an annual meeting or conference due to agenda, here’s your chance to be heard.
