Advisory Board
An NAF Advisory Board provides a platform for communication between educators and representatives from the public and private sectors within a community. Board members offer a variety of resources to local Academy Directors and staff, and school districts rely upon Board support to provide students with in-class expertise and workplace opportunities so students can explore careers in specific industries.
