The NAACP Organization

The NAACP's headquarters are in Baltimore Maryland, with additional regional offices in California, New York, Michigan, Missouri, Georgia, and Texas. Each Regional office is responsible for coordinating the efforts of state conferences in the states included in that region. Local, youth, and college chapters organize activities for individual members.

The NAACP is run nationally by a 64-member board led by a chair. the board elects one person as the President and chief executive officer for the organization; Benjamin Jealous is its most recent (and youngest) President, selected to replace Bruce S. Gordon, who resigned in March 2007. Civil Rights Activist former Georgia State Senator Julian Bond remains as Chairman.

Departments within the NAACP govern areas of action. Local chapters are supported by the Branch and Field services department and the Youth and College departments. The Legal Department focuses on court cases of broad application to minorities, such as systematic discrimination in employment, government or education. The Washington, D.C., bureau is responsible for lobbying the U.S. Government, and the Education Department works to improve public education at local, state and federal levels. The goal of the Health Division is to advance health care for minorities through public policy initiatives and education.
