What would happen to state associations and regions? How would they relate to and be involved in governance of the districts?
State associations and regions that currently operate under the auspices of ACPA or NASPA would dissolve with the dissolution of ACPA and NASPA. Where there is continued interest, state entities and their governing bodies would be re-formed and operate within districts under the New Association. State entities would not operate as separate 501(c)3 organizations; those state associations which currently have separate 501(c)3 status would need to dissolve in order to be recognized as part of the New Association. Specific mechanisms to foster communication, shared decision making, and leadership representation within districts would be developed as part of the transition/implementation process.
