Committees

Get involved and give back to your industry!

Ever wondered how you can give back to your industry? Look no further! Through our committees and task forces, PAAR provides great opportunities for our members to get involved and give back.

Committees and task forces are truly the backbone of the association where you can lend your insights and expertise, work with those in your industry, and help shape the future of PAAR. No matter your interests, there is a committee or task force for you – we promise!

Committees include a year long commitment to monthly, bi-monthly or quarterly meetings and participation in committee events. Task forces meet as needed and are a shorter time commitment, so if you want to get involved but are not sure you can commit to a full year of service, a task force may be the perfect fit for you!

Read the descriptions of each committee and task force below and when you're ready to get involved, fill out the Application Form!

We can't wait for you to join us!
