IIUSA is proud to announce the formation of several new committee that will advanceassociation initiatives of strategic importance. The IIUSA Board of Directors will finalize this structure in the near term, at which point committee work will begin in earnest. The below is a list of committees that will convene regularly and report to the membership next spring at the annual membership meeting on April 12, 2015 in Washington, DC. As a result of the recent amendment to IIUSA’s bylaws to empower and activate IIUSA Committees, committee chairs will appoint committee members and require at least two reports a year regarding Committee mission and goals as well as a year end status report. The growth in the number and scope of our committees is a testament to the organization’s growth and the member support needed to shape an industry.
Each committee is at various stages of the appointment process. If you responded to the call for volunteers leading up to our annual meeting last month, thank you for your patience. You will hear from us soon.
If you have any questions about the committees, please e-mail IIUSA Advocacy/Research Coordinator Ashley Sanislo Casey at ashley.casey@iiusa.org.
