Note: Committee membership begins in January after the close of the annual conference. Committee membership ends during the business meeting of the last year of the committee term. For example, a three-year committee appointment beginning in January 2021 would end in January 2024 at the business meeting thus allowing members three full conference cycles. All committees will meet at least once at the annual conference and as needed through alternative formats throughout the year. In order to ensure that committees operate efficiently, each committee will have a chair appointed by the President-elect. Chairs of Operating Committees are members of the Board of Directors.
