How do committees meet?
All committees meet via conference call, since members call in from all over the state. The Executive
Director polls the committee members to determine the best available time, an agenda is sent through e-mail,
and the Chair of the committee facilitates the call. The Executive Director takes and sends minutes via
e-mail. Some committees meet monthly, although most meet quarterly. Meetings usually last between an hour
and 1 ½ hours. To learn more about the available committees or to sign up for a committee, please visit
the Committees section.

and annual meeting in the Spring.
