NMLA Groups
Committees
The NMLA Committees are essential to the
direction and quality of the Association’s various tasks. It is easy to
become a Committee member, just contact NMLA’s president by e-mail and state which committee you wish to join and why.
To become a chair of a committee, you must be willing and able to commit to NMLA to attend the four (4) Board meetings held each fiscal year (July 1 to June 30) and properly attend to the duties of your committee.
