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:

    Democracy is the wholesome and pure air without which a socialist public organization cannot live a full-blooded life.
    Mikhail Gorbachev (b. 1931)

    The newly-formed clothing unions are ready to welcome her; but woman shrinks back from organization, Heaven knows why! It is perhaps because in organization one find the truest freedom, and woman has been a slave too long to know what freedom means.
    Katharine Pearson Woods (1853–1923)

    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)
