Chapter Committees
Committees are an opportunity for you to get more involved with the chapter. All members and candidates are welcome to serve on committees.
Committees work independently to identify potential areas of improvement, investigate solutions, and create an implementation plan. Committees set their own schedule and identify their own goals. Each committee is briefly described below, and their upcoming meetings can be found on the calendar.
To join a committee, just show up to one of their meetings! Alternatively, you can email the chapter to let us know you'd like to be on one, and we'll connect you with the relevant committee chair. You are also encouraged to reach out to any officer with questions.
