In governing a system of supported CCRCs, NSC takes a national approach, allowing each individual community to benefit from a broad-base of knowledge and experience when strategic and governance decisions are being considered.
This also allows each sponsored community to have representation and direct involvement in the formulation of the policies and activities of National Senior Communities that affect your community. National Senior Communities’ decision-making structure is based on the recommendation of five advisory committees.
All board policies originate from one of these advisory committees and are approved by the full NSC Board, and then recommended to the Community Boards for adoption where relevant. Through this national governance structure, best practices can be recognized and shared across all supported communities.
Advisory Committees:
Audit, Investment, and Treasury Committee–is responsible for oversight of all audits and investments for NSC and its supported communities as well as review of all tax returns and business trusts. The chairs of the advisory committees are members of the NSC Board.
