The National Association of Government Communicators began among federal communicators in Washington, D.C., shortly after World War II, at a time when government communicators faced a threat to their existence. NAGC was officially founded in 1976, with David Brown as the first NAGC president. The first national communications school was held the following September and during the next year in 1977 under the leadership of Joseph J. Carvajal. View History Board of Directors
The NAGC Board of Directors is made up of volunteer members. Directors are elected to two year terms by the membership. The Treasurer and President-Elect are appointed directly by the Board.
