NAACP rally in support of the six Louisiana teens facing overly aggressive prosecution and extended incarceration.
The Field Operation Department which is located in the National Office, is comprised of State/State Area Conferences and Branches. They are the front line Units of the NAACP.
The Department is responsible for assisting Units with the implementation of the Strategic Plan, membership development and the policy, programs and procedures of the Association. It is the Field Operation Department's responsibility to assist NAACP Units and volunteers in implementing the goals and objectives of the Association. In addition, assuring that Branches are viable and capable of carrying out the Association's mission at the local level is another responsibility.
