GAMB Committees
GAMB Committees carry out many of the activities the have been determined by the GAMB Board to be beneficial to the association's membership. GAMB Committee Chairs are not always members of the Board, but often attend GAMB Board Meetings, keeping the Board advised of their committee activities. Committee work provides easy exposure to members and opens the door to beneficial relationships a few people at a time. It's a way for members to pursue their own personal interests while helping GAMB progress along an upward path. Each committee has many jobs that need to be completed, from small to large. A committee member's participation is limited only by the amount of time he or she is ready to give. We hope that each GAMB Member will become more involved by joining at least one committee. If you are interested in joining a committee, click on the GAMB Committee Sign Up Sheet link below. Please note that you must be a GAMB Member to qualify to join a GAMB Committee and participation on any particular GAMB Committee may be limited to a certain number of committee members as determined by each individual GAMB Committee Chair.
