Regions

The National Association of College & University Food Services (NACUFS) is composed of six regions – Continental, Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, Northeast, Pacific, and Southern. NACUFS members are automatically included in the region where their institution is located. Volunteers from the regions are essential to the success of the association. When you are a member of NACUFS, you are a member of one association.
