2023 Information Technology Committee

About the Committee
The Information Technology Committee meets one to two times per year and provides input regarding IT support needs of members, works with the IT staff to preview new programs or beta test new programs developed for member services (membership directory, awards portal, ect.), and offer suggestions to improve the society’s online presence. Each year, new members join the committee as the same number of members rotates off. This committee is chaired by a member serving their third year on the committee.
