About NLPES

NLPES Committees

The NLPES Executive Committee directs NLPES efforts relating to the NCSL Legislative Summit, the NLPES Annual Training Conference, and other NLPES programs and activities. The chair of the Executive Committee may create committees and is responsible for appointing staff section members to serve on NLPES committees. A NLPES executive committee member always serves as committee chair, but anyone from the membership at large may participate and request a committee appointment. The chair may also initiate special survey or research projects. Currently, NLPES has six standing committees.
