Committees

To truly get the most out of your membership with BMA Chicago, join a committee. Volunteers are the heart and soul of our chapter. There are 14 different committees that work year-round and are responsible for different aspects of the organization’s success. Every committee has a board chair who supervises the group, manages the budget and ensures that everything runs smoothly.

Each committee has many different positions and subcommittees within it that report to the chair. Committee chairs work to provide guidance so your volunteer position fits your schedules and skill set.

Email a committee chair and volunteer some time. You’ll help BMA Chicago and maximize your networking at the same time.

You must be a current BMA member to join a committee.
