Governance
The Association
is governed by a Board of Directors, which acts as an
advisor to the NAEM Executive Director. The
Board, through the Board’s Executive Committee, has
oversight for the operations of the Association and has
the responsibility to set the overall policy and direction
of the association. Additionally, the Board assists the
NAEM Executive Director by establishing goals and objectives
for the organization.
The
Executive Committee is elected every two years. On the
alternate year, individuals are elected to the Board
of Directors. The Board's actions are supported by the
creation and output of ad hoc committees. Currently,
the Board has several ad hoc committees; they
are: Audit, Benchmarking, Education & Programming, Fact, Governance
and Strategic Planning.
Additionally,
several committees that are led by Board members guide
the Association’s programming. Participation in
these committees is open to all NAEM members. Individual
NAEM members can participate in any of the general membership
committees, such as our annual EHS conference the Forum, and our peer-to-peer environmental workshops.
