Regional Chapters, Committees, and Working Groups

Chapters, committees, and working groups serve as a vital link between the organization and our members. They provide valuable insight to the Board of Directors and/or staff on industry issues, trends, and emerging areas of interest. They also serve as an incubator for future directors.

These groups come in different sizes and shapes, depending on their purpose. Time-limited working groups and sub-committees may be formed to address specific issues as needed. This is a great way to get involved and become more engaged with the Association and help shape the industry.
