The National Association of Occupational Health Professionals ( N.A.O.H.P. ) relies on a national advisory board elected by N.A.O.H.P. members in each of six regions. These regional advisors participate in frequent meetings to discuss and prioritize the organization's goals and activities.
N.A.O.H.P. regional representatives are available to answer questions from, or facilitate networking among, constituents in their regions. Each regional representative serves for a three year term and is eligible for re-relection. Two of the six board regions expire at the end of every term. The Board also includes two at large members who are voted on by the entire NAOHP membership and serve two year terms with each term ending in a different year. In order to provide NAOHP members with more opportunities to serve on the Board, at large members are not eligible for re-election.
