Academic representatives enhance our organization by specifically promoting NBGSA within their academic disciplines.  Each Academic Representative enhances membership development, encourages organizational commitment, and contributes to the prestige of our scholarly publications by working closely in collaboration with Alumni Representatives, Regional Representatives, and the Vice President of Administration.  Each year, we fill 20 positions i.e. two Academic Representatives per academic division.
