NASSA Long-Term Governance Objectives
Our long-term goal is to make NASSA a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Corporation. Such a change will require formal NASSA By-Laws, NASSA Code of Ethics, a NASSA Board of Directors as well as Functional Managers to oversee specific responsibilities to guide and sustain NASSA.
As a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Corporation, all USA-based donations will be tax-deductible. This will help incentivize donations to help cover our fixed annual operating costs and provide additional funding for substantial new initiatives. Our goal is to maintain a zero membership cost for our NASSA members.
NASSA Implementation Team
Since NASSA is an evolving and growing organization, the NASSA Implementation Team will serve as an interim means of governance until such time as a more permanent governing body is appointed. The NASSA Implementation Team currently consists of the following individuals with more personnel to be added as future requirements dictate:
Chris Cawthorne (NASSA Co-Founder) – NASSA Implementation Director
Responsible for the NASSA organizational strategic planning, direction and implementation as well as the generation of NASSA website specifications and content creation.
