Directors:  
Delegates vote for all directors.  The purpose of having north, south, east and west election areas is to ensure that there is representation across the USA. Note that once elected, all directors represent the entire USA, and not the election area they are from.  Each Director will be assigned to chair a Board committee after they are elected.

The major responsibilities of the NEC are to seek out members to become candidates for national office and to choose the slate of candidates to be presented to the House of Delegates. For a complete description of the responsibilities of the NEC, see NSNA’s Bylaws in Getting the Pieces to Fit.
