Committees, Caucuses, Task Forces, Representatives

The Strength of Volunteers

AADPRT is governed by volunteers who sit on its committees, caucuses, and task forces organized around areas integral to the organization's operation and development. All of these are overseen by the Executive Council led by the president. We invite members to get involved by expressing interest in any of these groups to the appropriate Executive Council member. 

To better understand the structure of the organization and identify groups you might be interested in joining, please review Committee, Caucus, and Task Force charges and membership lists.
