The Association Leadership School prepares NPCA members for leadership positions within the association. Participants will learn how to prepare for meetings, how to use meeting time efficiently and how to maximize participation at face-to-face meetings and in-between meetings. Those who complete this course will learn about the structure, history and mission of NPCA and will better understand the time and financial commitments required of Committee and Board members. By taking this course, members will be fully equipped to consider whether to pursue an association leadership position.

By the end of this course you will understand:

• The history of NPCA

This course was created to better prepare association members for association leadership positions. It is the hope of the NPCA Board of Directors that the information contained in this course will better prepare members to maximize their participation and input into every meeting, from the first to the last. Members who complete this course will better understand the structure of the organization and the time and financial commitments required of committee and Board members and will be fully equipped with all the pertinent information one should consider when deciding whether or not to pursue an association leadership position.
