Thank you for volunteering!
The following is a list of those who have volunteered to serve on a GAFP Committee this year as of January 11, 2016. If you are interested in being on a committee and have not yet signed up, please contact Alesa McArthur at amcarthur@gafp.org or 1-800-392-3841 for assistance.
Committees are limited to 15 members, including 1 resident and 1 student per committee. Members are chosen by the President to serve on one committee in order to offer more positions to more members. Committees currently with some availability are: Bylaws, Finance, and the Membership Committee.
In addition, two work groups for specific projects have been created: the State Legislative Work Group, and an educational work group for the annual meeting. These do not have size limits and members on other committees may serve on these.
Our first Committee Conclave is March 5-6, 2016 in Pine Mountain, GA at Callaway Gardens.
