NCPA Board of Directors
The board of directors consists of the president, vice president, secretary-treasurers (of NCPA and NCPS), the immediate past president, the president of The Associated Dailies, the president of The N.C. Association of Community Newspapers and nine additional directors.
There is one "ex-officio" member of the board, who
may attend meetings as a non-voting member at the pleasure of the
board: Jean Folkerts, dean of the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at UNC.
The president, vice president, immediate past president and two divisional presidents serve one-year terms; the nine directors serve three-year, staggered terms. The secretary-treasurers are appointed annually by the board president, and serve as voting members at the pleasure of the board. A nominating committee appointed by the President of the association makes nominations.
The terms of office begin on Aug. 1 and end on July 31. Elections take place during the annual business meeting of the association.
