NAAP-Boston functions through the work of various committees, each of which is tasked with specific and well-defined objectives that are in agreement with NAAP's overall mission statement. Any member of NAAP-Boston is welcome to join one or more committees. Each committee has a volunteer chairperson. The chairperson is responsible for ensuring that the committee remains active and updating other committees and all members of upcoming activities. There are currently ten committees, though this may change depending on the needs of the group and community.

The general meeting is the forum by which NAAP-Boston decisions are made and where YOUR concerns, ideas, and goals will be heard. Ideas for NAAP-Boston initiatives are discussed and voted on at the general meeting, typically held once a month on Thursday evenings at a local university or restaurant. All members of NAAP-Boston are encouraged to attend the general meeting to become more involved with the planning of the organization's activities. We need as much input as possible to make these events happen for our community.

Information regarding meetings and events is disseminated to the group through a weekly email.  Individual committee meetings will periodically be announced through this email in order to keep all members informed of NAAP organizational activities and encourage all members to become involved at any time.  A separate, optional NAAP discussion list exits to allow the efficient discussion of new ideas, events and issues at a higher frequency than the monthly general meetings allow.  The purpose of this list is solely to facilitate dialogue between members.  No voting or final decisions occur through the list.

The committees have been established to ensure that all projects are completed, however, NAAP is the power of a collective vision.  You may focus on one committee, focus on all ten, or start your own committee.  The intention of NAAP is to serve as an umbrella under which a body of individuals with diverse educational and professional backgrounds and experiences can organize their resources and take the initiative to shape the future.
