Who leads the classroom and the NCA Chapter?

The leadership of the classroom and the NCA Chapter is particularly embodied in the role of JAG members. These members are not just passive participants but actively engage in the learning process and the directional flow of the chapter's activities. They are often involved in decision-making, planning events, and developing skills that empower them to take leadership roles.

JAG members are equipped with the opportunity to cultivate important social and professional skills through hands-on experiences in their educational and extracurricular activities. Their leadership role allows them to represent their peers, advocate for their needs, and bring forth innovative ideas, making them essential to the dynamic of the classroom and the wider chapter.

In contrast, while teachers, chapter advisors, and committee heads also play important roles in the educational experience, their functions typically involve overseeing, mentoring, and guiding rather than leading in the same active, participatory manner that JAG members do. Therefore, it's the involvement and leadership actions of the JAG members that distinctly shape the environment and direction of the NCA Chapter.
