SAACURH

 

SAACURH is the South Atlantic Affiliate of the National Association of College and University Residence Halls, Inc. or NACURH. NACURH is the largest student-run company in the world that attempts to improve communities within college residence halls by providing network opportunities through conferences and other resources designed to help schools improve their residence hall organizations.

 

NACURH is comprised of eight (8) regional affiliates and two (2) national offices. Each region is responsible for all the schools within its geographic area while the two national offices, the Nacurh Information Center (NIC) and the NACURH Services and Recognition Office (NSRO), handle various administrative tasks for the organization. SAACURH is the largest region within NACURH with over 60 affiliated schools and is the only region that does not contain any territory outside the United States. SAACURH is comprised of the following nine (9) states: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia.

 

On the regional level, all of the eight regional affiliates are led by an elected Regional Board of Directors (RBD). Within SAACURH, the Regional Board of Directors is called the SAACURH Executive Committee, or SEC. Each Regional Director and Regional Associate Director of Finance (aka Business Administration) sits on the NACURH National Board of Directors, or NBD. The NBD is comprised of the Regional Director and Associate Director from each region, a Director and Associate Director from each of the two National Offices, and an elected executive team comprised of the NACURH Chairperson, NACURH Associate for Administration (NAA), and the NACURH Associate for Finance (NAF), and the NACURH Associate for NRHH (NAN) that leads NRHH throughout NACURH.

 

Each regional affiliate holds a regional conference in the fall and a regional business conference, No Frills, in the spring. The entire organization meets as a whole during the NACURH Conference in May or June. Every affiliated member school is allowed a vote at their regional conferences and is represented at the national conference through their NBD representatives.
