2006 - 2007 Committee Opportunities

PSAA is an all voluntary organization. The committees are essential to the effective operation of any professional association. Strong committee leadership and dedicated members are necessary if the association hopes to be successful.

At the annual meeting you will have the opportunity to sign up to participate on a committee. On Sunday, October 8th from 8:00 – 8:30 A.M. there will be Committee Meetings.

Our Association is striving to be bigger and better! This is a great way to get more involved with your organization and give valuable feedback. The committee chairs contact their committees after the Annual Meeting and work throughout the year on their goals. If you are interested in learning more about a committee please contact the designated chair.
