Committees...

Each committee needs a chairperson or two co-chairs.  The chair or co-chairs are responsible for sending reports to the board (monthly or when the committee is active).  The chair works as a liaison between themselves and the general membership to come up with new ideas, answer questions and clarify issues.

Social: Prepares raffle items for each meeting Plans for Provider Day Out in May Summer & Fall outings (if wanted) & Christmas Party Makes items available to sell at Conferences

No one person is expected to complete all of these duties.  Whoever heads up the committee is encouraged to call others in our group to see if they may wish to participate.  This will give everyone an opportunity to volunteer and increase their chances of receiving funding for conferences, continuing education or scholarships.
