Committees
PROFESSIONAL COMMITTEES
The CAA Professional Committees represent the breadth of constituent interests at the association, and address issues, practices, and standards in the professions represented by individual and institutional members. Committees supervise ongoing projects and may recommend to the Board program initiatives and adoption or revision of formal statements, standards, and guidelines that further association goals.
These committees are composed of CAA members with an ex officio Board liaison also serving on each committee. Committee size should reflect the goals and needs of each committee, though they generally have approximately fifteen (15) members.
