FORCE is primarily a volunteer organization and much of our work is done through committees. We welcome new committee members! Please check out the following descriptions of FORCE committees and contact the chair if you would like to serve on a committee or would like more information. Committees conduct most business by email and have an in-person meeting every other month. There are lots of ways to get involved.
