IRE Committees and Task Forces help the Board explore specific areas or projects of interest for the organization.
Committees typically recur each year, while task forces are meant to be temporary. These groups are sometimes asked to address issues that come up in the full board meetings that need more research and recommendations.
Committee and task force chairs are appointed by the president. Their membership is selected by the president and each chair with input from the executive director.
