Committees

The AGA committee structure enables volunteer members to play an active role in the association’s decision-making process. Each committee is assigned a mission and set of responsibilities associated with a particular area within the association. All committees are called upon by the Governing Board to evaluate and make recommendations regarding matters under their purview.
