Build a professional network for life!
ILCA committee involvement is the best way to augment your membership. Membership, in any organization, requires both give and take. By participating on a committee, you match your special interests and talents to an ILCA program or initiative.
All committee members are approved by the committee chair
Volunteers are asked to serve for at least two years
There are usually 4-10 meetings per year depending on the committee
ILCA has three meeting formats:
In-person: The preferred meeting format is in-person, but a virtual option is available
Hybrid: Attendees have the choice to attend in person or virtually
Virtual: There is no in-person option and all attendees will be virtual
