CAPTAINS AND COMMITTEES

Participating on a committee provides you with the opportunity to test and expand your leadership skills as well as increase your professional contacts. Apply to be on a Committee HERE.

Being a member of the Leadership Team calls for reasonable time commitments, such as monthly committee meetings, fundraising events, networking events, and one/two Leadership Team meeting(s).
