Committees

Committees are an excellent way for our members to engage with the association. The executive committee and board look to committees to conduct thoughtful analysis on specific issues and present recommendations for the organization as a whole. The committees are responsible for some of most innovative programs and serve to pair board members with association members for joint decision-making. If you would like to join one of our committees or task forces, please e-mail the central office at [email protected] or call 509-489-4641 and we will connect you with that committee’s chair.
