Affiliated Associations play an active role in shaping NALA’s policies and initiatives. They elect a representative to the NALA Board of Directors and participate in the annual Affiliated Associations Meeting at the NALA Conference & Expo. Affiliates can also propose resolutions for consideration by NALA’s voting membership.

Each year, Affiliated Associations elect the Affiliated Associations Director and Affiliated Associations Secretary to represent them within NALA leadership.
