How are committees choosen.
The Association’s Committees are work groups established by the Board of Directors that serve as an advisory group and are selected from a slate of volunteers. The Association’s Committees are comprised of individuals with pertinent skills, knowledge and expertise, selected by the Chairperson.
- The Chair of the Committee presents the Committee’s final report to the Board of Directors via the Executive Director and explains and recommends the options available, (no decisions are made by a Committee, since it is the role of the Board of Directors to make the final decision.)
