The 1999 National Planning Meeting was devoted to planning the 2000 NOAC scheduled for the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.

Carey Mignerey from Egwa Tawa Dee Lodge, Roswell, Georgia was elected National Chief. Jordan Hitchens from Kittatinny Lodge, Reading, Pennsylvania was elected National Vice Chief.

For the first time the Region Chiefs elected would also become National OA Committee members during their terms. In the past the only youth members on the National OA Committee had been the current and immediate past National Chief and National Vice Chief. This change was made because of increased reliance on regions, sections and their leadership.

The Region Chiefs elected were: Jim Cheatham – Southern Region, Luke Wolfe – Central Region, Cameron Mulder – Western Region and Scott Schmidt – Northeast Region.
