COMMITTEE VOLUNTEERS WANTED
Are you looking for a way to give back to your business community? Consider joining one of our committees to help with one of many aspects of running your local business association.
The work of the PBA is accomplished through the dedication and hard work of committees formed to manage different projects throughout the year. As with all volunteer organizations, our success depends largely on the willingness of our membership to participate on these committees and make things happen. If you would like to volunteer to work on a specific committee that could benefit from your time and skill-set, contact us and we will connect you with the Committee Chair.
Check out the list of currently active committees, to see how your experience and expertise would fit in, on our website.
