Governance

NCSEA is governed by a board of directors which consists of 15 elected or appointed directors with staggered terms, five officers who are members of the Executive Committee, an International Commissioner, and an elected representative of the NCSEA Past Presidents.  In addition, several allied, partner organizations may appoint representatives as ex officio members of the Board.  A call for nominations is done in February or March of every year and an election of directors is held on-line every June.  The Board of Directors elects its officers and the International Commissioner at the spring board meeting.  Both officers and Board members take office September 1.

NCSEA Community Commitment Statement

NCSEA is built on the idea that our community is stronger when everyone has a voice. Our leadership and programs reflect the full range of people who work in child support and the many different types of families we serve. We don’t just talk about these values; we put them into practice by making sure a wide variety of voices and backgrounds shape our conferences, our communications, and the way we look at laws and regulations. We value the experiences of the parents and families we serve, and we listen and learn from them. To achieve our shared goal of providing family-centered child support services, we are dedicated to identifying and understanding the barriers that create different outcomes for families by supporting solutions. Our goal is simple: nurture a community where every professional can lead with a focus on whole-family services.
