Commission Meetings

The Commission of the association is the elected representative group of the school delegate members and is constituted as authorized in the By-laws of the Northwest Association of Accredited Schools. Each of the seven states is represented by four commission members along with four public members at large, an independent school representative and a higher education representative.

The Commission is charged with the responsibility of effecting the purposes of the association as they pertain to member schools. It is the specific responsibility of the Commission to propose necessary standards for the accreditation of schools and at its meetings to recommend action for the schools seeking accreditation.

There are two commission meetings each year. The annual meeting is held in December and the summer meeting is held in June. At those meetings the commission reviews the accreditation summary reports from the state accreditation committees and the International and Trans-regional Committee and votes to accept the recommendations for accreditation status for member schools. One commissioner from each state serves as the State Chair.
