Committees

The IACA depends on committees and appointed positions (committees of one) to accomplish most of its major goals. The IACA Bylaws establish certain permanent standing committees as well as special committees for projects.

Each committee receives a charter that spells out its goals, restrictions, resources, and guidelines. Charters are intended to give committees guidance and parameters in the absence of day-to-day management from the Executive Board.

The IACA currently has the following committees and appointed positions. To learn more about contributing to a committee, visit the Volunteer Interest page.
