Board of Directors

NHADACA is governed by a 15-member Board of Directors.

Our leaders are also leaders within the substance use professions. 


The board members meet six times a year as a whole, as well as within various committees.

Board Committees

The board delegates authority to several standing committees so it can focus on critical issues of policy and governance. The committees are: By-Laws Committee, Ethics Committee, Executive Committee, Finance Committee, Fundraising Committee, Nominations & Annual Meeting Committee, Personnel Committee, Public Policy Committee, and various adhoc committees as needed.


NHADACA also has representatives or member liaisons to several stakeholder groups. Those groups are:  Legislative Commission on Primary Care Workforce Issues, and the Legislative Commission on Granite Advantage Reauthorization.


All are welcome to attend the Board meetings. Meetings are held at the NHADACA office, 130 Pembroke Road, Suite 150, Concord, NH 03031 unless otherwise noted.
