NPC Board Service Interest Information

The National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) Board of Directors leads the organization and has responsibility for overseeing its affairs. Directors establish corporate policy, set the strategic direction, oversee and secure resources, and monitor organizational performance.

The board consists of five directors elected by the Council of Delegates and two directors appointed in rotation by their member organizations. Each director serves for a two-year term. The NPC chair is also elected by the Council of Delegates. NPC’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) serves ex officio as the corporate secretary. For more information on roles and responsibilities, view the position descriptions: NPC director | NPC chair.

All candidates must be nominated by their member organization.  Collegiate members and members of organizations in rotation are not eligible for election. For the 2025-27 board term, Alpha Sigma Tau and Sigma Sigma Sigma will appoint directors in rotation.

The nomination and application forms for the 2025-27 term will open in January 2025.

Additional Information can be found in the FAQ document and the Election Timeline.
