Committee participation is available only to CfPA members, and is seen as the clear path to leadership roles, including election to the board of directors and executive committee; committees typically meet twice monthly. Get involved and develop your skills and network by volunteering for CfPA committees. The following committees are looking for your commitment and engagement: Education & Training; Conferences & Outreach; Member Engagement. After registering as a Member of the CfPA, email info@CfPA.org and let us know which committee you are interested in joining, and we’ll be in touch.
