The nominee must reside within the Region for which he or she is nominated.

Candidates need to be aware that the job requires frequent communication between the members in their region and the Board, and requires making the time and commitment to QUICKLY respond to Board work and issues. Board members assume ultimate responsibility for running NAMHSA and assuring a quality NAN. Daily Internet accessibility is required, as the NAMHSA Board is primarily an online forum and email entity. It requires the ability to read and respond to Board forum posts every day. Representatives are a moderator of their respective regional Social Media group lists, and are encouraged to participate in discussions with their constituents regarding NAMHSA issues. Although no prior Board experience is required, NAMHSA recommends that candidates learn more (See here for more info) about Board structure and function.
