Our Association's Committees   

Please join in the good work!

NYSCHSA's Committees Make a Difference
The primary function of NYSCHSA's Committees is to contribute to the efficient operation of the association. Each Committee regularly looks at its area of focus, discusses the issues at hand, and assists the leadership in the decision-making process by providing needed information and recommendations or the best solutions to a problem. 

NYSCHSA has a wide-range of Committees and Special Representative Assignments.
