Importance of Joining a Committee

One of the most powerful ways to engage with our chapter is by joining a committee or an affinity group. This message has been consistently shared at every meeting, event, and new member orientation because we believe it holds the key to a truly transformative experience. Many members first join for the networking opportunities, but they often discover something much deeper along the way—their true passion. This journey of discovery can be life-changing. By joining a committee, you can find your "WHY"—a purpose that drives and fulfills you both personally and professionally. Let’s break down our committee and affinity group structure to show how you can get involved and make an impact. Each of these groups meets monthly with a clear and structured focus, and we welcome all members to join.

I encourage you to find a committee or affinity group that aligns with your passion and join us in shaping the future of our industry.
