The Key to Our Board’s Success is Teamwork

Join the Capital Region Board’s team by becoming a member of a committee.

Teamwork makes a Board successful! By joining a committee and working with other members, you will be serving our Board, as well as earning Honor Society points, gaining education and networking important to your profession!

Most standing committees meet about six times each year for about one-hour. Task force committees are just that – task specific. Once that goal is reached, the committee has completed its obligation for the year.
