NAIS’s mission is to be the national voice of independent education. As a way to ensure that we live up to that mission, NAIS assembled a talented group of individuals to serve as NAIS regional directors. They will help schools make the most of their NAIS membership by helping them to navigate NAIS products and services. And they will seek to learn about key issues in the region and in specific schools. This feedback will help NAIS to ensure that the products/services we create are relevant to all types of schools, in all locations. If your school is not yet a member of NAIS, the NAIS regional director in your area can discuss with you the benefits of NAIS membership for your school.  

Note: As of September 1, 2009, there will be slight changes to the states served by each regional director. Read more about this change.
