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:
“I will never accept that I got a free ride. It wasn’t free at all. My ancestors were brought here against their will. They were made to work and help build the country. I worked in the cotton fields from the age of seven. I worked in the laundry for twenty- three years. I worked for the national organization for nine years. I just retired from city government after twelve-and-a- half years.”
—Johnnie Tillmon (b. 1926)
“When a man’s partner’s killed, he’s supposed to do something about it. It doesn’t make any difference what you thought of him, he was your partner and you’re supposed to do something about it. As it happens, we’re in the detective business; well, when one of your organization gets killed, it’s, it’s bad business to let the killer get away with it. Bad all around. Bad for every detective everywhere.”
—John Huston (1906–1987)
“In any great organization it is far, far safer to be wrong with the majority than to be right alone.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
