NAGC Governance
Leadership Regulations & Policies Board Actions

NAGC is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, which holds fiduciary responsibility for the organization and provides strategic oversight for its mission, priorities, and long-term direction. Supporting the Board’s work are NAGC’s volunteer-led Committees, chaired by members who guide key areas of focus that inform the organization’s resources, programs, and operational activities.
Together, the Board, Committee Chairs, and the broader NAGC membership help shape the organization’s direction and ensure its work reflects the needs of the gifted education community. All Board and Committee leaders are NAGC members who contribute their expertise in a volunteer capacity in service to the field.
