NCHN is a membership organization, which is governed by representatives from the membership. In addition to the importance of volunteer Directors, it is also important to have even broader representation of the membership serving on the various NCHN Committees. The committees operate to assist the elected Board of Directors and the Officers in meeting its goals and objectives of the Association.
