The National Human Services Assembly is an association of the nation's leading national non-profits in the field of health and human services. The mission of the National Assembly is to engage leaders of the national nonprofit health & human service sector in collective efforts to advance the effectiveness of health & human services in the United States . One of those efforts is the use of peer groups which bring together leaders from member organizations who have similar responsibilities in their respective organizations. There are peer groups/peer councils for CEO's, COO's, HR Directors and Communications Directors to name a few. The Assembly is currently in the process of developing a Technology or IT Peer Group.
