The Code of Regulations defines NOACA's organizational structure and serves as its  governing instrument. The document describes, among other things, NOACA's  mission, Governing Board membership, officers' duties, conduct of meetings, and  committee responsibilities.

On January 11, 2002, the NOACA Governing Board approved the first major update to the Agency's Code of  Regulations in 11  years (available in Adobe Acrobat pdf format).
