The purpose of the NSS Executive Search Committee is to recruit candidates for the five NSS officer positions as per Act 12-551 and Bylaw IV, Section A(3)(d) of the NSS Bylaws. The officers are elected by the Directorate and serve a one-year term from the time the officer takes their seat on the Board of Governors. Incumbents may run for reelection each year and serve at the pleasure of the Directorate. NSS officers are tasked with the day-to-day operation of the Society and accomplish this by delegating many of the duties to the various committees in his or her department.
