Members are welcome and encouraged to attend and serve on Board of Director committees. Committees must be chaired by at least one current Board Director but may be co-chaired by members interested in serving at a greater, more involved capacity. This is a great opportunity to learn more insight on our operations and planning while cultivating leadership development.
