Team

NFSN is supported by a small full-time staff team that coordinates the organization’s national backbone functions, including strategy, operations, membership, training, and partnerships. This work is strengthened by our Board of Directors and committees, as well as parent leaders, trainers, consultants, contractors, and partners, who help ensure NFSN’s efforts remain grounded, practical, and responsive.
