Committees
CRPA depends on its members to help support the many programs we offer. Without strong volunteerism from our members CRPA would not be the successful association that is currently before you.
Serving on a committee is restricted to CRPA members in goodstanding.
Old and new members of CRPA have the opportunity to work with a number of different committees, depending on your interests. Committee chairs urge you to review and choose the one that best suits your interest. It's a great way to expand your professional network, learn more, and even have some fun while you meet great people. Remember, an association is as good its members make it!
See below for a listing of CRPA committees.
