NEASEA Committee Structure

The NEASEA Executive Board is supported through a strong committee structure, offering opportunities for members to participate in activities that guide the organization.  Volunteers are always welcome, and the time commitments are usually only a few hours a month.  If you are interested in helping, please complete our very simple Volunteer Form.  (You will need to log in using your NEASEA ID and password.)  Once we receive your form, the chair(s) of the committee(s) that interest you will be in touch.

CONFERENCE COMMITTEE: The Conference Committee, chaired by the Vice President for Conference Services, plans and executes all details of the annual conference, including site selection (researching and recommending locations for the annual conference), site planning (handling the logistics pertaining to the site before, during and after the conference), and program development (planning and executing all details of the program for the conference).
