NPSS Constitution and Bylaws –March 2021

NPSS Strategic Plan 2020-25

Each year NPSS funds strategic initiatives. Initiatives can be for one, two or three years (no longer however), and a completed Review Form must be submitted for approval at the beginning and for each successive year. Initiatives start January 1 and are funded for that year. Our Finance Committee reviews and ranks all initiatives, and our Administrative Committee (AdCom) approves funding for each.
