The Board of Directors has four committees; the Executive Committee is composed of the Officers of the Association and acts in the absence of the full board; Finance and Development which includes membership, development, and the annual budget; Programming which includes all membership services, association programs and member recognition; and Procedures which oversees nominations to the Board, strategic planning, the membership meeting, policies and procedures, and stewardship of the bylaws.
