Advisory Groups

NACCHO's advisory groups are crucial to the association's work and are an important vehicle for member input.

See the links to the right to download a full list of the committees, teams, and workgroups, a diagram of the groups and their linkages
to the Board, and the list of lead staff contacts.

The committees, teams, and workgroups were restructured in 2006 to better align with both NACCHO's strategic plan and staff organization as well as to increase member involvement in committee activities. Click to view a report or chart describing the structural changes.
