• informing NACUBO of the specific needs of members for training, skill improvement, and other forms of professional growth and assisting in the development of strategies to meet these needs;
• supporting the association's programming efforts through the involvement of volunteers from member institutions;
• providing advice and guidance to NACUBO members as needed;
