Committees & Councils
Committees and Councils are the most productive tools with which an association has to work. The findings of these committees and councils are the basis for policy and direction established by the Board of Directors of our association. A committee can only be as effective as the members who serve on it, and it is important for the health and vitality of every association that all members take an active role in volunteering and serving on its various committees. The following is a list and brief description of the various standing and special committees.
