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.
