Note about the Officers' Flags: The red background and blue chevron on each of the officer's flags is adopted from the flag of the North American Vexillological Association and the gold used in all five flags is the traditional color of authority. The symbols themselves come from many cultures and countries indicating the universal extent of our interest and they derive from different symbolic media.

The symbols are a seal, a coat-of-arms, royal throne, religious emblem, and flag. This diversity shows the diverse sources of flag designs.

Anyone who has served in a NAVA office in the past may use the past officer's flag for that office. Each past officer's flag resembles the flag of the office, except with the red and blue reversed.
