addressing these problems. The
Committee assists the Department in
planning, organizing, and conducting
the Biennial Conference of the NPIP.
The Committee recommends whether
new proposals should be considered by
the delegates to the Biennial
Conference.
The Committee consists of an elected
member-at-large who is a NPIP
participant and an elected member (and
alternate) from each of six regions.
Terms will expire for three of the
current regional members of the
Committee as well as the member-atlarge in July 2016. We are soliciting
nominations from interested
organizations and individuals to replace
the member-at-large and members on
the Committee from the South Atlantic
region (Delaware, District of Columbia,
Florida, Georgia, Maryland, North
Carolina, Puerto Rico, South Carolina,

North Central region (Iowa, Kansas,
Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North

Selection of members and their
alternates is determined by a majority
vote of the NPIP delegates from the
respective region. The voting will be by
secret ballot of official delegates from
the respective region, and the results
will be recorded. The member-at-large
will be elected by all official delegates.
There must be at least two nominees for
each position. To ensure the
recommendations of the Committee
have taken into account the needs of the
diverse groups served by the
Department, at least one nominee from
each of the three regions must have a
