Chapter Sections/Committees

The Chapter is comprised of various Committees and Sections.

Administrative Committees are smaller, more discrete groups which directly serve the Chapter, Executive Committee and/or membership as a whole. Committees perform much of the administrative and functional work of the Chapter, reporting to the Executive Committee. All administrative committees welcome participation by both new and long-standing Chapter members.

Educational Sections were designed to focus on specific functional interests and are open to all Chapter members. They provide ongoing networking opportunities as well as a basis for more advanced educational programming in that discipline. Many sections create specialized work groups and committees to plan and implement specific projects and events. All sections welcome participation by both new and long-standing Chapter members.

The current Chairs and Co-Chairs of the Committees and Sections are:
