Activism: NACAR & NEFAR
Programs
By the mid-1990s NAC had become an efficient political action group whose professionalism and effectiveness had engendered
respect from naturist and non-naturists
groups equally. Shortly however, the board
had to recognize its demand for some
Help. Having become fairly adept at
Locating anti-nudity laws even before
it became known to the general public, and
learning techniques to defeat it in legislative committees, NAC needed to enlarge
on its own success.

In https://s3.amazonaws.com/2021naturist/public-nudism.html , NAC created the Naturist
Action Committee Area Representative
System. NAC Region Reps, or NACARs,
are TNS members who are willing and able
to oversee a specified geographical region
covering that place. For instance, someone
from a plage support group in California
might become a NACAR to track activity
at that particular strand for the NAC board
member covering California. The NACAR
would also be in a place locally to watch
legislation. If bills, ordinances, or changes
in law enforcement appear, the NACAR
would be in a great position to garner
defend the area's naturist liberties.

In 1996 NEF created an comparable
program of Naturist Education Foundation
Place Representatives (i.e. NEFARs) who
wish to assist NEF in promoting naturism,
but who are not particularly interested in
doing the political or legislative work on
which NAC tends to concentrate much of its
energy.

I was sorry to hear about Lee Baxandall's passing. He was a
great man, and I envision a great friend to you. He really favorably affected my life also.
It was because of Lee that I did my first workshop. At the
Pocono Picnic Company I asked him about a workshop I
Needed to attend.
don't you lead it?" Which I did a few weeks later at the Turtle
Lake Assembly, that very same summer.
Doing that workshop and the many that have followed, the
friendships made, and the openness and connections experienced have been a big part of my healing and growing. So I
feel deeply indebted for the part he played in my life.
I'm sorry I wasn't closer to him to get to know him better. I
will miss him. Thank you for all your attempts to continue what he
Began.
