2024 Committee Sign-Up Form

Leaders are the driving force of progress. Apply today to serve on an MAR committee.

Your state association is looking for applicants for a number of appointments to key MAR committees for 2024. These are the engines that drive the work of your association. The time commitment is minimal, and the rewards – in terms of networking, personal growth and the satisfaction of improving your profession – are great. Complete this form to select and rank your top 5 choices by September 5, 2023. Please attach a resume and/or additional information on your qualifications and experience.

Most Committees will meet on February 21, 2024 and June 6, 2024 (pending approval of the 2024 Calendar by the Board of Directors). Committees with a different schedule are indicated.

Completing the form puts your name on the list from which 2024 President Gary Parker will select committee members in October. You will be notified via letter about the results of the selection process.

Deadline to submit your completed form is Tuesday, September 5th, 2023.

Please note: The MAR Professional Standards Committee is currently at capacity. If you have an interest in Professional Standards and you are not currently serving on the MAR Professional Standards Committee, contact your local board to see if there is an opportunity available for you to volunteer for your local board’s Grievance Committee.
