Committees and Work Groups
The Society has several committees and work groups. These groups have two purposes. First they expand members' opportunities to influence and serve the profession at the national level. Second, the groups extend the Board's ability to provide member benefits in order to attain the goals of SSWLHC. Committee members are selected from a list of volunteers, and other recognized leaders in the organization.
