Our committees and task forces are volunteer groups that perform specific tasks for the Association. They can be an ongoing part of operations or meet a temporary need.

Leadership Committee

The Leadership Committee is a Board committee responsible for Board of Directors nominations. The Committee includes:

  • NHPC CEO and Registrar
  • Board President
  • another Board member
  • an NHPC member in good standing

The Committee interviews all Board candidates and helps new Board members transition smoothly into their role.

Credentials Committee

Credentialing is obtaining, verifying, and assessing the qualifications for a given profession. The Credentials Committee reviews our processes for credentialing  holistic health practices and reviews applications to recognize new practices.

  • Research and Credentialing Representative (NHPC staff)
  • two NHPC members

Committee review of a holistic health practice includes terminology, education requirements, and recognition status. After their review, the Committee provides feedback to the Registrar who decides if the practice is recognized.

Sanction Committee

The Sanction Committee decides on the sanction orders for members in the Complaints Resolution Process. The Committee must act in accordance with NHPC Bylaw Article 10.5.

This committee is responsible for all complaints resolution processes, including:

  • holding a hearing to determine the appropriate sanctions
  • giving the member the opportunity to make oral and/or written response to the sanction
