In the 2006 Bylaws Revision there were only 4 Committees - Publications, Program, Educational Development, and the Bylaws Committee. This current list of Committees exemplifies one of the many ways in which NASPAG has grown over the last 20 years.
NASPAG, like many other major medical organizations, has been disheartened to see limitations placed on the provision of sexual health education to our youth. Comprehensive sexuality education has been shown to better prepare young persons to make informed and healthy decision about their sexual health and sexual health behaviors. In support of the provision of unrestricted, evidence based comprehensive sexual health education to our youth, the NASPAG Advocacy Committee has released a position statement.

I was president for the 2013 NASPAG ACRM and we were having challenges. Leslie Breech, program director and Joe San Filippo, executive director, Andrea Taylor of Talley and I were working hard to ensure a wellattended, smooth running meeting. Chuck Sapp of Talley told us not to worry. He was going to assign Donna Colavita, meeting planner par excellence, to be on site at the San Diego meeting. He told us Donna was a superstar, and we’d really enjoy working with her.
