Board of Advisors

The Board of Advisors (BOA) provides executive-level counsel to the Board on strategy and issues impacting our profession. Their service is voluntary, their guidance is priceless.

The BOA consists of approximately 80 senior executives from the public sector (federal, state, and local government), private sector (industry and professional firms), accredited educational institutions and/or other recognized training establishments, and select individuals who have retired from such organizations.

The BOA has no fiduciary or legal responsibility; it is a volunteer-based advisory body. 

Additionally, BOA Members are listed in the NCMA Member Directory.
