Advisory Committee Management Division
Office of the Executive Secretariat
The Advisory Committee Management Division is responsible for providing management oversight of NASA’s 12 Federal advisory committees, and ensuring that they operate in full compliance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA); the Government in the Sunshine Act; and related Federal statutes, regulations, and policies. These 12 Federal advisory committees are:

The division provides executive staff and administrative support for the two long-standing senior advisory committees that report to the NASA Administrator: the
NASA Advisory Council (NAC)
and the
Aerospace Safety Advisory Panel (ASAP)
. The latter advisory committee also reports to the U.S. Congress. The division serves as the designated Agency liaison with the Committee Management Secretariat of the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA). In addition, the division ensures that NASA advisory committee members and staff receive FACA training and that annual reports on NASA’s advisory committee operations are submitted to GSA.
With the establishment of NASA in 1958, the tradition of seeking independent judgment and guidance from scientific and technical experts in academia, industry, and other Government agencies started by NASA’s predecessor, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), has continued to the present day. NASA has turned to accomplished citizens and world-class experts for independent insight, advice and recommendations on major programmatic and policy issues related to the U.S. civil space program. NASA has sponsored numerous Federal advisory committees over the years covering the breadth and depth of Agency programs and activities, including aeronautics, space technology, space science, Earth science, human spaceflight, and exploration. These advisory committees are formally chartered under the law, have specific goals, objectives, and operating principles, have formally appointed members, and have specified durations for their work.

Jamie Krauk
– Director of the Advisory Committee Management Division.
