The Naturist Action Committee (NAC) is a nine-member volunteer committee that functions as the political adjunct to The Naturist Society (TNS), based in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. While TNS is a national for-profit advocacy group for Naturism, NAC is a non-profit donor-supported organization that promotes and defends naturist interests in the courts, before legislative bodies, at universities, and to local business communities. NAC board members are elected by TNS members on a three-year rotation basis.
Famous quotes containing the words action and/or committee:
“You are, I am sure, aware that genuine popular support in the United States is required to carry out any Government policy, foreign or domestic. The American people make up their own minds and no governmental action can change it.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“I find it profoundly symbolic that I am appearing before a committee of fifteen men who will report to a legislative body of one hundred men because of a decision handed down by a court comprised of nine men—on an issue that affects millions of women.... I have the feeling that if men could get pregnant, we wouldn’t be struggling for this legislation. If men could get pregnant, maternity benefits would be as sacrosanct as the G.I. Bill.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
