The Executive Committee

​

The Executive Committee consists of up to three co-chairs, and a treasurer.  Whenever possible, the three constituencies (individual, family members, and mental health professionals) will each be represented on the committee.  If equal representation is not possible at a given time, all efforts will be made to recruit members of each constituency willing to serve on the committee. The committee shall also consist of subcommittee chairs and the county liaison. Elections are held annually to elect all Executive Committee members except the county liaison.
