The work of the Society is largely done by the following six standing committees and their respective subcommittees.
Each committee is led by a committee chair, or co-chairs, and has a staff liaison assigned to it. To join a standing committee or subcommittee, click here and navigate to "Committee Request" under "Community." The Board of Directors will review applications and make appointments on a rolling basis.
