Committees

Much of the work of the Association is carried out through the actions of our many committees. Committees are divided into Councils based on how their activities support the Vision and Mission of the Association. The Council Structure is intended to facilitate and enhance communication between committees and also between the Board and committees.  Councils are asked to meet 2-4 times per year,  either in person or for teleconference calls, to coordinate activities, and share information. Council Chairs will coordinate and chair the meetings of each Council.  Board liaisons will be responsible for participating in the Council meetings that take place for any committee for which they serve as Liaison. View Council/Committee Organizational Chart.
