Affiliate Council

The NCLR Affiliate Council is the vehicle through which NCLR Affiliates influence NCLR policy and operations. The Affiliate Council serves as a voice for, and represents the bond between, NCLR and its most important constituency.

The Affiliate Council is made up of two members (one male and one female) from each NCLR region: California, Far West, Midwest, Northeast, Southeast, and Texas. Members are democratically elected by the Affiliates in their respective regions.
