Selected Blogger Requirements
Individuals selected to contribute to the NAA Blog must agree to the NAA Blogger Conditions and Guidelines.
NAA bloggers should commit to writing at least one original blog posting each month. More frequent posting is encouraged, should the NAA Blogger choose to do so.
Those who agree to be an NAA blogger should consider their blogging term to last approximately 6 months. In order to keep the blog and the voice of the association fresh, new bloggers will be added on a regular basis and those who have blogged for NAA for a 6 month period of time may be replaced by new writers. (Please note: Term limits may be waived based on the needs of the blog and at the discretion of the Blog Manager, NAA staff and the Communications Advisory Board.)
NAA bloggers may also provide a brief bio and thumbnail-sized photo for use on the NAA Blog site.
