  • Role and Function: While not national officers (because they are elected locally by members of their specific districts), NEC members serve as the vital operational liaison between their regional district and the national leadership National Officers, NEC's & Chairmen.

  • Key Authority: The NEC acts on mandates established by the broader DAV membership, issues official local chapter charters, and reviews resolutions for the national Board of Directors
