OPERATING DIVISIONS COMMITTEES
Committee Functions
The primary function of a committee is to contribute to the efficient operation of an organization. A committee is concerned with the communication of information and with assisting the leadership in the decision making process by providing needed information and recommending actions. These standing committees exist to accomplish these tasks.
Standing Committees perform a continuing function necessary for the on-going operation of the Association. They operate indefinitely and are provided for in the Association Bylaws or the Board Manual of Policy and Procedures. All intended committee actions are subject to the approval of the Board of Directors/Executive Committee.
2021 Operating Division assignments are noted below ease of use. Please contact this office for any clarification. Professional consultants may serve on the committees for expert opinions and such but not as voting members on that particular committee.
