We are a leader-full community, blessed with many volunteer leaders who bring diverse skills, gifts, wisdom, and experience to make our community thrive! NSP’s leadership structure includes three categories of leadership:

  1. Strategy Team (serves as the executive committee of the board)
  2. Team of Instigators (the full board)
  3. Co-Conspirators (important non-board roles who serve on teams or work directly with the strategy team on discrete projects, including co-leads of teams)

The Team of Instigators and Strategy Team have a formal leadership transition process each spring. New leaders are installed at the annual membership meeting in May, at which leaders and the community recite our leadership covenant.
