Parents Club Structure

Committees & Board

 

Our club runs on small, focused teams. Find a committee that matches your skills and availability - every contribution keeps this unit moving forward.

How Our Committees Work

Each committee handles a specific area of support for the unit. They operate independently under the guidance of the Board, meeting on their own schedules and reporting progress at monthly Parents Club meetings.

 

You don't need experience - just willingness. Committee chairs will bring you up to speed, and most tasks can be done on your own time. Pick the committee that fits your interests, and jump in.
