Resource Library
Organized storage for shared information and resources like sample motions, templates, policies, etc.
Connection Opportunities
NAPD will provide the platforms for virtual meetings, a virtual community, and email messaging groups – all exclusive to the Federal Section.
Meetings and Community Initiatives
Events and other programming will be scheduled as interest and time allow throughout the year, as determined by your community.
To support the independent initiatives of our Federal Section, $25 in annual section dues are assessed from all members, in addition to standard NAPD membership fees.
