Why do we have Committee's and how are they chosen?

    Committee's are very important to an organization. They are a body of persons delegated to consider, investigate, take action on, or report on some matters.

    The President chooses these committee's very carefully from highly motivated members who will work hard to keep the members and their families up to date on all the issues that relate to them. After the Committee's are chosen the President has the difficult task of choosing a Chairperson to bring the Committee groups together.

Look and see what Committee's are working for you and what they are doing.

The Local Political Action Committee prepares legislative and lobbying programs, conducting endorsement interviews, and training and recruiting volunteers.

 The goal of the Women's Committee is to increase the participation of women in the Local at all levels educating women in the  in all aspects of political activity developing policy recommendations monitoring and influencing legislation according to Local policy interest. 

The Veterans Committee  provides up-to-date information on the Committee’s activities and on legislation it has considered.  It also includes links to many other sources of information concerning veterans’ benefits
