National Board of Directors Meetings


General Information

The NRHS is governed by a Board of Directors which consists of one Director from each NRHS Chapter. A director is elected according to Chapter by-laws and member represents the Chapter's interest at the National Organization. This position is often referred to as a National Director.

The Board of Directors of the NRHS manages the and administers the operations of the National Organization, and elects the National Officers of the Organization such as President, etc. This body also approves applications for new Chapters.

The Board of Directors meets three times a year. One meeting is usually held in conjunction with the National Convention which is usually hosted by a NRHS Chapter in the summer.

The other two meetings are also hosted by an NRHS Chapter over a weekend, one each in the summer and fall. These meetings typically have railroad history activities on Friday and Saturday, including a banquet Saturday night, with the official Board Meeting occurring on Sunday morning that lasts about four hours.
