National Association of Railroad Passengers - Organization

Organization

NARP is divided into twelve membership regions for the purposes of electing members to the board of directors. The various regions and their elected representatives usually meet annually. The regions are grouped into four districts, each of which elects a vice-president. In addition to the above, the members elect a president, a secretary, and a treasurer.

In addition to the elected leadership, there is a small paid staff in Washington, D.C., that includes an executive director, an assistant, a director of finance and administration, and an office manager.

As of May 2009, the president was Ross B. Capon and the chairman was George Chilson.

Famous quotes containing the word organization:

    Prostitution is the most hideous of the afflictions produced by the unequal distribution of the world’s goods; this infamy stigmatizes the human species and bears witness against the social organization far more than does crime.
    Flora Tristan (1803–1844)

    Your organization is not a praying institution. It’s a fighting institution. It’s an educational institution right along industrial lines. Pray for the dead and fight like hell for the living!
    Mother Jones (1830–1930)

    One of the many reasons for the bewildering and tragic character of human existence is the fact that social organization is at once necessary and fatal. Men are forever creating such organizations for their own convenience and forever finding themselves the victims of their home-made monsters.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
