HIGHLIGHTS

Treasurer: The finance committee continues to complete a thorough review of the fiscal policy.
Chief Delegate: NACAC has been cooperating with the Department of Justice to review the Code of Ethics and Professional Practices document for nearly two years. They’re requesting that NACAC remove three provisions from its code of ethics to comply with antitrust laws. NACAC members will vote at the annual conference on whether to remove the three ethical provisions from its professional guidelines. There is a revised NACAC membership model which provides more opportunities to join NACAC.

Past President: The credentials and nominations committee is being formed and will meet in January. The Leadership Manual will be updated by the start of the new fiscal year.
President: Items to focus on this year will include reevaluating the IACAC membership model, developing a legislative agenda, and considering the financial surplus and the proposals put forth by the ad hoc committee.
