Serving on a committee is a great way to deepen your connection to LAI Chicago Region Chapter and its membership.
LAI Chicago Region Chapter has two (2) standing committees: Membership and Program. Additionally, the Chapter has the following Special Committees: Communications, Chautauqua & Salon, and the Member Engagement Committee. Each committee meets on a regular basis, moving forward a workplan to achieve strategic goals for the Chapter. On average, committee members dedicate 2-3 hours each month by attending a meeting and working with fellow committee members to move the workplan forward. The standing and special committees make a great impact on the health (not quite the right word?) of the Chapter.
Ad hoc committees are created to address specific needs during the year that are considered outside of, but no less important, than our standing committee work. Current ad hoc committees include the Member Support Fund Committee and the Service Day Committee. Participation in supporting these committees are generally shorter, one-time commitments to organize a specific program or initiative.
