NAASF is governed by a Board of Directors. Board members represent each of the 6 U.S. regions (West, North Central, South Central, Great Lakes, North East, and South East), and 2 members represent each of the two Canadian regions (West and East).

Board Members, who are elected to rolling 3-year terms, have multiple responsibilities, including:

• Serve on at least one subcommittee and participate in that committee's activities,
• Attend NAASF Board meetings and events (typically, there are four board meetings each year, 3 of which are held in conjunction with a NAASF forum),
• Actively seek input from franchisees in their respective regions by attending meetings, contacting them on a regular basis and soliciting input,
• Represent the opinions of the franchisees in their regions that are relevant to NAASF and the Subway® system,
• Provide input and direction to the NAASF staff on pertinent issues.
