This week, NOSSCR’s Board voted to elevate NOSSCR’s interim CEO, David Camp, to the full-time position of Chief Executive Officer. 

Camp has been serving as the organization’s interim CEO for the past five months. He brings decades of experience to the role, including more than 25 years as an attorney in private practice working on issues involving the Social Security Administration. He has been involved with NOSSCR for many years, serving on the Board of Directors from 2017 to 2022 and as the organization’s President from 2021 to 2023. 

“We are delighted to have David Camp as our permanent CEO,” said Rick Fleming, NOSSCR’s current President. “His remarkable career accomplishments and deep commitment to our organization and its mission make him exceptionally qualified for this role. Under his guidance, we are confident that NOSSCR will reach new heights in advocating for the rights of Social Security claimants.” 

Camp is recognized as an authority on issues involving the Social Security Administration, serving as a resource for elected officials and journalists, testifying recently on Capitol Hill, and regularly presenting to NOSSCR and related organizations on Social Security issues. For many years, Camp has worked with advocates and congressional offices to support legislative improvements. He has also built relationships with SSA officials who turn to him as a key stakeholder. 

Camp has also been recognized for his contributions to NOSSCR as a volunteer. He received the Eileen Sweeney Distinguished Service Award in 2013, NOSSCR’s internal accolade recognizing excellence and impact, for his successful efforts in advocating against SSA’s Secret ALJ Policy. 

The Social Security Administration has also lauded Camp, presenting him with the Regional Commissioner’s Public Service Award for his training of SSA attorneys. 

After earning his bachelor’s degree in mathematics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Camp went on to receive his Juris Doctorate from Washington University in St. Louis. 

Under Camp’s interim leadership at NOSSCR, the organization has witnessed growth in membership and revenue — a testament to his influence within the practice area. With his understanding of Social Security law and policy and demonstrated leadership skills, Camp is well-positioned to guide NOSSCR toward continued growth, influence, and impact.
