IMCA Committees
Like most associations, IMCA depends on many volunteers and the addition of expert assistance in executing its programs and services to members. IMCA operates three types of committees and task forces: working committees charged with developing conference programs, editorial works, examinations, or policies; advisory committees responsible for generating new ideas and suggestions for improving IMCA; and subcommittees of the board of directors. The current active committees are listed below. Other committees are formed, meet, and disband as the need arises. IMCA sometimes creates task forces to accomplish specific projects as well. If you are interested in volunteering on IMCA committees, please download, complete, and submit the Volunteer Application and Expectations form
