National Executive Board Organizational Chart

Below is an organization chart which depicts the structure of the National Executive Board.  The National Executive Board is broken up into five zones.  Each zone is led by a National Executive Officer.  The National Executive Officers are the National Chairperson, the National Vice-Chairperson, the National Treasurer, the National Secretary, and the National Programs Chairperson.  Those officers along with the National Parliamentarian, the National Chair-Emeritus, and the National Advisory Board Chairperson who serve as advisors make up the Administrative Zone.
