NADD Leadership

NADD governance is comprised of a Board of Directors and an Executive Committee. Each board member is elected  to represent one of the 14 regions as defined by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops by NADD members in that region. Executive Committee members are elected from national membership. NADD has several working committees to address the specific needs of the Association.
