Committees

Board committees do most of the planning and work on the issues that are acted on at Board meetings. Each Board establishes the committee structure and procedures it feels will best meet the needs of its district. Non-Board members may apply to join or work on Board committees.

Community Board #4Q Committees are responsible for but not limited to Agencies listed under their Committee headings.
