PNACAC Committees
PNACAC Committees
Make the most of your PNACAC membership and get involved! As a volunteer organization, we rely upon our members to give of their time and expertise to fulfill our mission and strategic plan. No matter how long you have been in your profession, your experience can make a difference!
Each PNACAC Committee works toward organizational goals in its own way; this may include conducting meetings, developing programs, completing projects, and communicating with members and non-members alike. Committee Chairs are responsible for their committee's goals and coordinating committee members, as well as serving on the PNACAC Executive Board.
In addition to contributing to the overall purpose of PNACAC, volunteering on a committee is also a fantastic opportunity for networking and professional growth.
Another way to get involved: serve on the Executive Board!
