Composition
The members of the Executive Committee sit on the AB as ex officio members,and its cochairs (the NASPA copresidents) are the AB's cochairs.
Beginning in 2011, some of these members have been chosen through elections. Two members were elected to two-year terms in 2011, and two more in 2013.
Beginning in 2015, we will move to six elected seats (five regional: US Northeast, South Midwest, and West, plus one seat for a Canadian representative, and one at-large seat), and five nominated seats, where outgoing members will recommend successors from their region.
The 2016 Advisory Board Elections will begin with nominations taken in May 2016.
The remainder of the seats on the board are appointed by the Executive Committee, taking into consideration the recommendations of outgoing members, and the need for balance of all kinds in the composition of the board.
From time to time, the AB elevates long-serving members to emeritus status. Emeritus members do not attend the AB's regular meetings, but may be consulted occasionally in areas of their expertise.
History
The Advisory Board was transferred from the NSA to NASPA on February 15th, 2009.
Rulings
Beginning in 2010, significant AB motions have been numbered mostly sequentially in order of their conception. When such motions are passed, they result in an AB ruling. A complete list of AB Rulings is available at this website.
Other Activities
In April 2015, the Board introduced the first NASPA IDEA Grants - opportunities for NASPA members to apply for small grants to fund new initiatives.
The Board is responsible for choosing the annual Michael Wise Memorial Person of the Year.
