Committees
As a member-driven organization, we rely on our members to work with us to continue to bring new events, benefits, and programming to our members. This work is done through multiple committees. Chaired by a current board member and supported by member volunteers, each committee is responsible for bringing the vision and mission of the NHWBA to life.
Interested in joining a committee? We are currently looking for additional volunteers to assist the following committees: Member Relations, Networking, Programming, and Public Service. If you are interested in helping to guide the organization, you can also participate in the Governance Committee in an advisory role. Just contact the committee chair listed below or info@NHWBA.org!
