GDAA Committees & Committee Members

There is no question that the best way to see a return on your investment with GDAA is to get involved, and one of the best ways to get involved is to join one of our committees. Whether your passion is legislative affairs or special events, there is something for everyone!

Typically, each committee meets on the 2nd Tuesday of the month at GDAA Headquarters. Unless otherwise noted, committee meetings are open to all members. If you would like to discuss your talents and how they could be best utilized at GDAA or if you would like to sign up to volunteer, please contact the GDAA staff liaison listed under each committee!

Thank you to those that work hard to make The Association great!
