The NCHC Athletic Council is represented by each member institution's Director of Intercollegiate Athletics. The Chair leads the Athletic Council and has an annual rotation. The Athletic Council has voting power on general, day-to-day conference policy decisions.

Each institution's Athletic Director may designate another senior administrator from their staff to represent his/her institution on the council. However, each institution holds one vote.
