Committees

Committees

NPPA Members who do not wish to stand for office can contribute by serving on committees formed to address specific issues such as Business Practices or Finance. New committees can be formed by the Board as new issues arise, and inactive committees can be similarly dissolved. The current list of committees is as follows:
