Working Groups
As a HBA member your input is needed. All you have to do is choose a working group that interests you and email the preferred staff member. Shortly after, you will be notified of the next meeting. Meetings vary, as some meet monthly and others meet as needed. How many committees you join is all up to you. Whether it’s one committee or all, we strongly encourage our members to get involved.
