NPA Executive Office
Run by the NPA Executive Director, the Executive Office handles the Association’s operations. Staff at the Executive Office serve as NPA committee liaisons as well as experts in areas such as certification, marketing, publishing, finance, and strategic relations. Every division of the Executive Office operates with at least one NPA committee. For example, the member relations manager works with the Member Advisory Committee, the accounting department works with the Budget & Finance Committee, etc.

NPA Chapters
NPA Chapters deliver most NPA benefits on a local level. Only through chapter involvement can all that the NPA has to offer be realized. Chapters provide regular peer interaction, technology exposure, leadership, and community service opportunities.

NPA Sponsors
Vendor Sponsors provide technology expertise, equipment, and financial donations to support NPA programs and initiatives that further the NPA’s mission to advance the network computing industry.

Associations
Associations support the NPA in a unilateral fashion, sharing expertise and experience in the association business.

Government Agencies
Government agencies provide necessary endorsements for many of the NPA’s initiatives. The NPA lobbies government groups on behalf of its members and the profession.
