Since NASFAA’s inception in 1966, the association has been led by an elected leader who serves a one-year term. For the 1966-69 term of office the title was Chairman, and for the terms of office from 1969-70 through 1986-87 the title was President. The title for elected leader was changed to National Chair in 1987-88 and remains National Chair today.

NASFAA maintains an email listserv to encourage networking and communication among these current and former leaders of the association. Past President & National Chairs are automatically added to the list; unsubscribe information is available in all delivered list messages. Before utilizing the listserv, all users are asked to review and accept NASFAA's Listserv Use Policy.
