NFDA’s Leadership Development Committee

The work of the nine-member committee is directed by the NFDA bylaws. It is to identify, cultivate, and recruit future leaders for NFDA.  The committee will also conduct the following election/campaign related duties:

  • Review candidate application forms and to interview candidates to determine and present a slate of qualified candidates for election to officer and At-large Representative positions
  • Monitor candidate compliance with campaign and election rules and guidelines and to report any infractions to the Board of Directors
  • Recommend to the Board of Directors the adoption of campaign and elections rules and guidelines as needed

Are you interested in a leadership position?  Reach out to a committee member for a conversation. Meet the NFDA Leadership Development Committee:
