Our committees exist to focus on our highest organizational priorities, ensuring that key areas like member engagement, fundraising (development), and operational management are well-supported. These committees allow members to specialize, make informed decisions, and provide accountability. By handling detailed work before bringing recommendations to the full board, our committees improve efficiency and help guide our strategic direction in alignment with our mission.
