The NSMA is governed by an elected, 15-member Board of Directors, and is organized into a number of Working Groups whose functions are to identify, address, and resolve specific issues, and to draft formal NSMA Recommendations [offering useful advice] or NSMA Reports [with useful information] to the industry. NSMA Recommendations and Reports, each reviewed by the membership and approved by the Board, are made available to the entire membership as well as other interested parties outside the NSMA.
