Leadership
Council Members
NPEN's leadership consists of a Council and a Guidance Team. The Council consists of 15-25 individuals who meet bi-monthly to carry on the business of developing the field of parenting education. Council members serve for 3-year terms and are eligible to serve two consecutive terms. The Council also holds an annual meeting typically in the Spring. Each Council member also serves on a separate committee (see committees page for more information). All Council members are dues-paying members. The Guidance Team consists of NPEN's officers as well as all committee chairs and meets bi-monthly as well.
If you are interested in participating in a leadership position within NPEN, please consider joining a committee or nominating yourself for a position on the Council. Please indicate your interest via email to info@npen.org.
