GDAA Committees & Committee Members

There is no question the best way to see a return on your investment with GDAA is to get involved and join one of our committees. Whether your passion is professional development, special events, or public affairs; 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, please contact the GDAA staff liaison listed under each committee.

Thank you to those who work hard to make the Association great!
