It was founded in 1967 by American vexillologist [[Whitney Smith]] (1940–2016), and others. Its membership comprises flag scholars, designers, collectors, conservators, educators, merchants, manufacturers, historians, and hobbyists. The association publishes ''[[Raven: A Journal of Vexillology]],'' an annual peer-reviewed journal and ''Vexillum,'' a quarterly magazine (combining the previous ''Flag Research Quarterly'' and ''NAVA News''). They cover vexillological topics and inter-disciplinary discussion as well as the Association's proceedings and other vexillological news.<ref name="publications">{{Cite web| title=Publications: Overview| url= http://nava.org/publications/| accessdate=2016-10-17| publisher=NAVA.org}},</ref> The association honors achievement in the field with several honors and awards: * Whitney Smith Fellows: an individual who makes an outstanding contribution to [[North America]]n [[vexillology]] may be elected to this honor by the association's executive board. An honoree is entitled to use the postnominals "WSF"; * Honorary membership: an individual who renders distinguished service to the association that otherwise furthers the purposes of the association may receive this honor. It is restricted to persons who are not members and past presidents of the association; * Captain [[William Driver]] Award: presented to the individual who presents the best paper at the association's annual meeting; * Kevin Harrington Award: presented to the individual who authors the best article to appear in a non-vexillological publication during the preceding year; * John Purcell Award: presented to an individual for an exemplary contribution that promotes public understanding of vexillology in North America; and * Doreen Braverman Award: presented to an organizational member who supports the association's mission by making a significant contribution to the vexillological community.<ref name="awards">{{Cite web| title=Honors| url= http://www.nava.org/about-nava/honors| accessdate=2013-02-24| publisher=NAVA.org}},</ref> NAVA is the largest vexillological organization in the world and a charter member of the ''[[International Federation of Vexillological Associations]]''. == Principal officers, 2019–20 == *President: Peter Ansoff *First Vice President: Steven A. Knowlton *Second Vice President: Stanley Contrades *Secretary: Ted Kaye *Treasurer: Jim Ferrigan *Editor, ''[[Raven: A Journal of Vexillology]]'': Scott Mainwaring *Editor, ''Vexillum'': Steven A. Knowlton == Organization flag == The association's flag consists of a large white "V" (an inverted [[Chevron (insignia)|chevron]]) separating a blue triangle above from two red triangles on either side. The length of the top side of the blue triangle is the same as the width of the flag. (Note that a flag's "width" is its vertical dimension when flying from a flagpole.) The flag proportion is 2:3. The "V" represents vexillology. The colors are taken from the flags of the two countries covered by the association: [[Canada]] (red and white) and the [[United States]] (red, white, and blue). ==Annual meetings and meeting flags== Since 1967, the association has held annual meetings across the [[United States]] and [[Canada]] for all those interested in flags to present and discuss research and to honor vexillological achievement. Since 1977, it has marked each meeting with a distinctive flag. {| class="wikitable !Name !Location and dates !Meeting flag !Designer(s) !Meeting flag description |- | NAVA 0 || [[Boston, Massachusetts|Boston, MA]]<br /> 3 June 1967 || [[File:Nava0.gif|100px]] || Whitney Smith || The flag of the Flag Research Center was used for this meeting. |- | NAVA 1 || [[Purchase, New York|Purchase, NY]]<br />18 November 1967 || none || n/a || n/a |- | NAVA 2 || [[Chillum, Maryland|Chillum, MD]]<br />12–13 October 1968 || none || n/a || n/a |- | NAVA 3 || [[Boston, Massachusetts|Boston, MA]]<br />6–7 September 1969 || [[File:Nava3.gif|100px]] || Whitney Smith || As the site for ICV 3, that meeting flag was used. |- | NAVA 4 || [[Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania|Pittsburgh, PA]]<br />10–11 October 1970 || none || n/a || n/a |- | NAVA 5 || [[Ottawa, Ontario|Ottawa, ON]]<br />23–24 October 1971 || none || n/a || n/a |- | NAVA 6 || [[Chicago, Illinois|Chicago, IL]]<br />28–29 October 1972 || none || n/a || n/a |- | NAVA 7 || [[Valley Forge, Pennsylvania|Valley Forge, PA]]<br />2–4 November 1973 || none || n/a || n/a |- | NAVA 8 || [[Baltimore, Maryland|Baltimore, MD]]<br />12–14 October 1974 || none || n/a || n/a |- | NAVA 9 || [[Cleveland, Ohio|Cleveland, OH]]<br />12–14 October 1975 || none || n/a || n/a |- | NAVA 10 || [[Toronto|Toronto, ON]]<br />8–10 October 1976 || none || n/a || n/a |- | NAVA 11 || [[Washington, D.C.]]<br />10–14 June 1977 || [[File:NAVA11MeetingFlag.png|100px]] || Steve Stringfellow || The flag shows the NAVA colors ([[blue]], [[red]], and [[white]]) in an emblem resembling a lowercase [[N]], the "77" in 1977, and the number [[11 (number)|11]]. |- | NAVA 12 || [[Montgomery, Alabama|Montgomery, AL]]<br />7–9 October 1978 || [[File:Nava12.gif|100px]] || Charles Brannon || |- | NAVA 13 || [[Salem, Massachusetts|Salem, MA]]<br />5–8 October 1979 || [[File:Nava13.gif|100px]] || Alfred Znamierowski || A field of 13 alternating red and black horizontal stripes on which is centered a witch riding a broomstick.

The red and green fields are separated by a yellow zig-zag containing the "v" for Vexillology. |- | [http://www.nava.org/nava-meetings/meetings/45 NAVA 45] || [[Alexandria, Virginia|Alexandria, VA]]<br />1–5 August 2011 || [[File:nava45.gif|100px]] || Anthony Burton ||The ICV 24 Congress flag was used. |- | [http://www.nava.org/nava-meetings/meetings/46 NAVA 46] || [[Columbus, Ohio|Columbus, OH]]<br />5–7 October 2012 || [[File:NAVA46 flag.jpg|100px]]|| William Belanich, Jr. ||The flag resembles a "slice" of the hoist of the [[Flag of Ohio|Ohio flag]]. The white arc on a blue and red field is part of the "O" for Ohio on the state flag and also is a "C" for host city of Columbus. It is also a stylized chevron representing vexillology. |- | [http://www.nava.org/nava-meetings/meetings/47 NAVA 47] || [[Salt Lake City, Utah|Salt Lake City, UT]]<br />11–13 October 2013 || [[File:nava47.gif|100px]] || John M. Hartvigsen || The golden beehive is for Utah, the Beehive State; many early Utah flags used blue and white in their color schemes, which also visually describe the host city, white for salt and blue for the waters of the Great Salt Lake. The white cut “V” also symbolizes the valley between the Wasatch and Oquirrh mountain ranges. The two arcs of stars with four stars above and seven stars below symbolize that the gathering is NAVA's 47th annual meeting. The large star below the beehive signifies the “Rising Star of Deseret” shown on many early flags of Utah history. |- | [http://www.nava.org/nava-meetings/meetings/48 NAVA 48] || [[New Orleans, Louisiana|New Orleans, LA]]<br />3–5 October 2014 || <!-- Need image of meeting flag -->|| Tony Burton, Zachary Harden and Keith Hammond || The flag is a heraldic flag, described as Per fess dancetty Or and Purpure, each point ending in a fleur-de-lis, a crescent overall counter-changed. As is well known, New Orleans's nickname is the Crescent City, owing to the way the Mississippi River bends its way through the city. The crescent design appears in many places, including the manhole covers used by the city. An early Allen & Ginter tobacco card shows a gold crescent on the city flag. It echoes the “o” used by Tony. The fess dancetty floretty uses the fleur-de-lis from the current city flag, and the fess is basically a “V” line evoking a “V” for vexillology, borrowing from Zach's use of both the fleur-de-lis and the inverted chevron. The gold comes from the gold fleur-de-lis in the current city flag, used by both Tony and Zach, while the purple comes from the Mardi Gras colors as noted by Tony. |- | NAVA 49 || [[Ottawa]], [[Ontario]]<br />16–18 October 2015 || || Reid Reynolds, Ken Reynolds, and John Hartvigsen || A simple and minimal design, the flag is restricted to red and white, the national colours of Canada. The white field also signifies snow and winter, the latter being the predominant season for most of the country on February 15, the actual anniversary of the Canadian flag. The silhouette next to the hoist depicts the Peace Tower on Parliament Hill, the well-known building that most represents Ottawa to the country and the world. The maple leaf in the upper fly represents the nation as a whole and is Canada's most well-known symbol. As in most cases, an indoors ceremonial variant of the flag was used with a gold fringe for opening and closing ceremonies. |- | NAVA 50 || [[Campbell, California]]<br />14–16 October 2016 || || Tony Burton || The white canton with the red star and red chevron symbolize the state of California using elements of the state flag. The red and gold chevrons at the fly represent the Spanish heritage of San Jose. The blue/white/red combinations at the top and bottom recall the NAVA flag, and symbolize NAVA's role in documenting the continuity between past and present as part of its vexillological mission. Two changes were made by the judges and the selection committee: the canton was changed from gold to white, and the star was reoriented with the point facing the hoist. The orientation of the star was a practical decision in view of the fact that the flag will most often be displayed vertically at future NAVA meetings. |- | NAVA 51 || [[Boston, Massachusetts]]<br />13–14 October 2017 || || Jim Croft and John Hartvigsen || Inspired by the flag designed by Whitney Smith for NAVA 3/ICV 3, held in Boston in 1979, the flag displays the Continental Blue and Buff colors of the city of Boston. Three golden crowns first appeared on the arms of Boston, England, the place that gave the city its name. They also symbolize that NAVA 51 is our third annual meeting held in Boston. The three connected chevrons come from John Winthrop's arms and symbolize the three mountains on Boston's peninsula that gave Winthrop's settlement its first name and are memorialized by the modern city's Tremount Street, while also representing the three annual meetings held in Whitney Smith's home town. |- |NAVA 52 || [[Quebec City, Quebec]]<br />12-14 October 2018 || || Zacary Edward Wilson-Fetrow || Its symbolism incorporates elements from the flags of Québec (the fleur de lys and the cross) and Québec City (Champlain’s ship the Don-de-Dieu and the crenelated contour).

It was founded in 1967 by American vexillologist [[Whitney Smith]] (1940–2016), and others. Its membership comprises flag scholars, designers, collectors, conservators, educators, merchants, manufacturers, historians, and hobbyists. The association publishes ''[[Raven: A Journal of Vexillology]],'' an annual peer-reviewed journal and ''Vexillum,'' a quarterly magazine (combining the previous ''Flag Research Quarterly'' and ''NAVA News''). They cover vexillological topics and inter-disciplinary discussion as well as the Association's proceedings and other vexillological news.<ref name="publications">{{Cite web| title=Publications: Overview| url= http://nava.org/publications/| accessdate=2016-10-17| publisher=NAVA.org}},</ref> The association honors achievement in the field with several honors and awards: * Whitney Smith Fellows: an individual who makes an outstanding contribution to [[North America]]n [[vexillology]] may be elected to this honor by the association's executive board. An honoree is entitled to use the postnominals "WSF"; * Honorary membership: an individual who renders distinguished service to the association that otherwise furthers the purposes of the association may receive this honor. It is restricted to persons who are not members and past presidents of the association; * Captain [[William Driver]] Award: presented to the individual who presents the best paper at the association's annual meeting; * Kevin Harrington Award: presented to the individual who authors the best article to appear in a non-vexillological publication during the preceding year; * John Purcell Award: presented to an individual for an exemplary contribution that promotes public understanding of vexillology in North America; and * Doreen Braverman Award: presented to an organizational member who supports the association's mission by making a significant contribution to the vexillological community.<ref name="awards">{{Cite web| title=Honors| url= http://www.nava.org/about-nava/honors| accessdate=2013-02-24| publisher=NAVA.org}},</ref> NAVA is the largest vexillological organization in the world and a charter member of the ''[[International Federation of Vexillological Associations]]''. == Principal officers, 2019–20 == *President: Peter Ansoff *First Vice President: Steven A. Knowlton *Second Vice President: Stanley Contrades *Secretary: Ted Kaye *Treasurer: Jim Ferrigan *Editor, ''[[Raven: A Journal of Vexillology]]'': Scott Mainwaring *Editor, ''Vexillum'': Steven A. Knowlton == Organization flag == The association's flag consists of a large white "V" (an inverted [[Chevron (insignia)|chevron]]) separating a blue triangle above from two red triangles on either side. The length of the top side of the blue triangle is the same as the width of the flag. (Note that a flag's "width" is its vertical dimension when flying from a flagpole.) The flag proportion is 2:3. The "V" represents vexillology. The colors are taken from the flags of the two countries covered by the association: [[Canada]] (red and white) and the [[United States]] (red, white, and blue). ==Annual meetings and meeting flags== Since 1967, the association has held annual meetings across the [[United States]] and [[Canada]] for all those interested in flags to present and discuss research and to honor vexillological achievement. Since 1977, it has marked each meeting with a distinctive flag. {| class="wikitable !Name !Location and dates !Meeting flag !Designer(s) !Meeting flag description |- | NAVA 0 || [[Boston, Massachusetts|Boston, MA]]<br /> 3 June 1967 || [[File:Nava0.gif|100px]] || Whitney Smith || The flag of the Flag Research Center was used for this meeting. |- | NAVA 1 || [[Purchase, New York|Purchase, NY]]<br />18 November 1967 || none || n/a || n/a |- | NAVA 2 || [[Chillum, Maryland|Chillum, MD]]<br />12–13 October 1968 || none || n/a || n/a |- | NAVA 3 || [[Boston, Massachusetts|Boston, MA]]<br />6–7 September 1969 || [[File:Nava3.gif|100px]] || Whitney Smith || As the site for ICV 3, that meeting flag was used. |- | NAVA 4 || [[Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania|Pittsburgh, PA]]<br />10–11 October 1970 || none || n/a || n/a |- | NAVA 5 || [[Ottawa, Ontario|Ottawa, ON]]<br />23–24 October 1971 || none || n/a || n/a |- | NAVA 6 || [[Chicago, Illinois|Chicago, IL]]<br />28–29 October 1972 || none || n/a || n/a |- | NAVA 7 || [[Valley Forge, Pennsylvania|Valley Forge, PA]]<br />2–4 November 1973 || none || n/a || n/a |- | NAVA 8 || [[Baltimore, Maryland|Baltimore, MD]]<br />12–14 October 1974 || none || n/a || n/a |- | NAVA 9 || [[Cleveland, Ohio|Cleveland, OH]]<br />12–14 October 1975 || none || n/a || n/a |- | NAVA 10 || [[Toronto|Toronto, ON]]<br />8–10 October 1976 || none || n/a || n/a |- | NAVA 11 || [[Washington, D.C.]]<br />10–14 June 1977 || [[File:NAVA11MeetingFlag.png|100px]] || Steve Stringfellow || The flag shows the NAVA colors ([[blue]], [[red]], and [[white]]) in an emblem resembling a lowercase [[N]], the "77" in 1977, and the number [[11 (number)|11]]. |- | NAVA 12 || [[Montgomery, Alabama|Montgomery, AL]]<br />7–9 October 1978 || [[File:Nava12.gif|100px]] || Charles Brannon || |- | NAVA 13 || [[Salem, Massachusetts|Salem, MA]]<br />5–8 October 1979 || [[File:Nava13.gif|100px]] || Alfred Znamierowski || A field of 13 alternating red and black horizontal stripes on which is centered a witch riding a broomstick.

Hartvigsen || The golden beehive is for Utah, the Beehive State; many early Utah flags used blue and white in their color schemes, which also visually describe the host city, white for salt and blue for the waters of the Great Salt Lake. The white cut “V” also symbolizes the valley between the Wasatch and Oquirrh mountain ranges. The two arcs of stars with four stars above and seven stars below symbolize that the gathering is NAVA's 47th annual meeting. The large star below the beehive signifies the “Rising Star of Deseret” shown on many early flags of Utah history. |- | [http://www.nava.org/nava-meetings/meetings/48 NAVA 48] || [[New Orleans, Louisiana|New Orleans, LA]]<br />3–5 October 2014 || [[File:nava48.gif|100px]] || Tony Burton, Zachary Harden and Keith Hammond || The flag is a heraldic flag, described as Per fess dancetty Or and Purpure, each point ending in a fleur-de-lis, a crescent overall counter-changed. As is well known, New Orleans's nickname is the Crescent City, owing to the way the Mississippi River bends its way through the city. The crescent design appears in many places, including the manhole covers used by the city. An early Allen & Ginter tobacco card shows a gold crescent on the city flag. It echoes the “o” used by Tony. The fess dancetty floretty uses the fleur-de-lis from the current city flag, and the fess is basically a “V” line evoking a “V” for vexillology, borrowing from Zach's use of both the fleur-de-lis and the inverted chevron. The gold comes from the gold fleur-de-lis in the current city flag, used by both Tony and Zach, while the purple comes from the Mardi Gras colors as noted by Tony. |- | NAVA 49 || [[Ottawa]], [[Ontario]]<br />16–18 October 2015 || [[File:nava49.gif|100px]] || Reid Reynolds, Ken Reynolds, and John Hartvigsen || A simple and minimal design, the flag is restricted to red and white, the national colours of Canada. The white field also signifies snow and winter, the latter being the predominant season for most of the country on February 15, the actual anniversary of the Canadian flag. The silhouette next to the hoist depicts the Peace Tower on Parliament Hill, the well-known building that most represents Ottawa to the country and the world. The maple leaf in the upper fly represents the nation as a whole and is Canada's most well-known symbol. As in most cases, an indoors ceremonial variant of the flag was used with a gold fringe for opening and closing ceremonies. |- | NAVA 50 || [[Campbell, California]]<br />14–16 October 2016 || [[File:nava50.gif|100px]] || Tony Burton || The white canton with the red star and red chevron symbolize the state of California using elements of the state flag. The red and gold chevrons at the fly represent the Spanish heritage of San Jose. The blue/white/red combinations at the top and bottom recall the NAVA flag, and symbolize NAVA's role in documenting the continuity between past and present as part of its vexillological mission. Two changes were made by the judges and the selection committee: the canton was changed from gold to white, and the star was reoriented with the point facing the hoist. The orientation of the star was a practical decision in view of the fact that the flag will most often be displayed vertically at future NAVA meetings. |- | NAVA 51 || [[Boston, Massachusetts]]<br />13–14 October 2017 || [[File:nava51.gif|100px]] || Jim Croft and John Hartvigsen || Inspired by the flag designed by Whitney Smith for NAVA 3/ICV 3, held in Boston in 1979, the flag displays the Continental Blue and Buff colors of the city of Boston. Three golden crowns first appeared on the arms of Boston, England, the place that gave the city its name. They also symbolize that NAVA 51 is our third annual meeting held in Boston. The three connected chevrons come from John Winthrop's arms and symbolize the three mountains on Boston's peninsula that gave Winthrop's settlement its first name and are memorialized by the modern city's Tremount Street, while also representing the three annual meetings held in Whitney Smith's home town. |- |NAVA 52 || [[Quebec City, Quebec]]<br />12-14 October 2018 || [[File:nava52.gif|100px]] || Zacary Edward Wilson-Fetrow || Its symbolism incorporates elements from the flags of Québec (the fleur de lys and the cross) and Québec City (Champlain’s ship the Don-de-Dieu and the crenelated contour). These flags are respectively celebrating their 70th adoption anniversary and 30th grant anniversary in 2018 (although the city flag was adopted in 1987 a year before its grant by the Canadian Heraldic Authority). |- |NAVA 53 || [[San Antonio, Texas]]<br />15-19 July 2019 || [[File:nava53.gif|100px]] || Hugh L.

The white cut “V” also symbolizes the valley between the Wasatch and Oquirrh mountain ranges. The two arcs of stars with four stars above and seven stars below symbolize that the gathering is NAVA's 47th annual meeting. The large star below the beehive signifies the “Rising Star of Deseret” shown on many early flags of Utah history. |- -| [http://www.nava.org/nava-meetings/meetings/48 NAVA 48] || [[New Orleans, Louisiana|New Orleans, LA]]<br />3–5 October 2014 || <!-- Need image of meeting flag -->|| Tony Burton, Zachary Harden and Keith Hammond || The flag is a heraldic flag, described as Per fess dancetty Or and Purpure, each point ending in a fleur-de-lis, a crescent overall counter-changed.

The red and gold chevrons at the fly represent the Spanish heritage of San Jose. The blue/white/red combinations at the top and bottom recall the NAVA flag, and symbolize NAVA's role in documenting the continuity between past and present as part of its vexillological mission. Two changes were made by the judges and the selection committee: the canton was changed from gold to white, and the star was reoriented with the point facing the hoist. The orientation of the star was a practical decision in view of the fact that the flag will most often be displayed vertically at future NAVA meetings. |- -| NAVA 51 || [[Boston, Massachusetts]]<br />13–14 October 2017 || || Jim Croft and John Hartvigsen || Inspired by the flag designed by Whitney Smith for NAVA 3/ICV 3, held in Boston in 1979, the flag displays the Continental Blue and Buff colors of the city of Boston.

The orientation of the star was a practical decision in view of the fact that the flag will most often be displayed vertically at future NAVA meetings. </p> </td></tr> <tr> <td>NAVA 51</td> <td><a href="/wiki/Boston,_Massachusetts" class="mw-redirect" title="Boston, Massachusetts">Boston, Massachusetts</a><br />13–14 October 2017</td> <td><a href="/wiki/File:Nava51.gif" class="image"><img alt="Nava51.gif" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e3/Nava51.gif/100px-Nava51.gif" decoding="async" width="100" height="60" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e3/Nava51.gif/150px-Nava51.gif 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e3/Nava51.gif/200px-Nava51.gif 2x" data-file-width="360" data-file-height="216" /></a></td> <td>Jim Croft and John Hartvigsen</td> <td>Inspired by the flag designed by Whitney Smith for NAVA 3/ICV 3, held in Boston in 1979, the flag displays the Continental Blue and Buff colors of the city of Boston.
