2. Community Affairs Committee

The Community Affairs Committee oversees the SOAR task forces that are working on specific community-related projects in accordance with the priorities of SOAR.

3. Marketing/Membership

This committee establishes the policies and procedures for SOAR membership, develops and oversees fundraising events, disseminates information about SOAR activities to members, donors and volunteers.
