Serving on a Committee
The people that serve on the committee of ALPFA Miami are the means by which the chapter provides high-quality programs and events to our members. Each committee has defined responsibilities to plan, organize and execute certain events, programs and communications that support the mission of ALPFA.
Service on an ALPFA Miami committee is a volunteer activity that you can gain through appointment by a committee chairperson. Serving on a committee is also an enriching experience in that it allows you to develop leadership, team-building, and project management skills.
To be considered for a committee, you must be a member of ALPFA in good standing and dedicated to the vision and mission of ALPFA.
