The NCJA Elections Committee is seeking nominations from the membership for regional representatives to the NCJA Advisory Council. The Advisory Council assists the NCJA Board of Directors in the control and direction of the policy, purposes, and activities of the association. The Advisory Council also selects board members and NCJA officers from the Council membership each year.
