As a Guild, we offer multiple committees to involve our membership in our organizing efforts. While some committees are required per our Constitution and Bylaws, others are to be created by a vote of quorum during member meetings. Each committee will have a committee director and committee secretary and will provide reports during Guild membership meetings. Committees may have individual meetings without other membership involved, but minutes must be kept for all of those individual meetings.
At this time, we have several committees with open seats, however, committees are limited to twenty (20) active members per committee. If a committee becomes full, a waitlist based on a first come first serve basis will be created. As seats become available, those who requested a seat on that committee will be notified. In order to maintain your position on a committee, meetings must be attended. If you would like to be involved in a committee please complete the form below.
