NCDA Committees are informative, useful, and yes, they're fun!! Committee participation offers members the opportunity for in-depth discussion on issues that are of most concern with practitioners from around the nation. Oftentimes, HUD officials are invited to hear members concerns and provide valuable insight that, in many cases, does not occur during plenary sessions. Committee participation is often the starting point for leadership within the organization. The following committee structure will be in effect beginning July 1, 1999.

Executive Committee of the Board of Directors. This committee is composed of the President, Vice-President, Secretary/Treasurer, and the Immediate Past President of the Association.

Nominations and Elections Committee. This committee consists of active past presidents and members are appointed by the President.

Program and Policy Committee. This committee is made up of the following subcommittees and are open to all NCDA members:

• Community Development Program and Policy Committee (Co-Chairs: Tom Phillips - Hartford, CT / Greg Hoover - Davenport, IA)

• Economic Development Program and Policy Committee (Co-Chairs: Pamela David, San Francisco, CA / Roslyn Phillips - Jacksonville, FL)

• Housing Program and Policy Committee (Co-Chairs: Paul Hilgers - Austin, TX/Barbara Richardson - Rockford, IL)
• Membership/Professional Development Committee (Co-Chairs: Brenda Montgomery - Jefferson Parish, LA / Laurence Wagner - Waterbury, CT)

• Technology Committee (Co-Chairs: Steve Gartrell - Newton, MA/Dale Cook, Jr. - East St. Louis, IL)
• International Committee (Co-Chair: Thomas Utters - TX)
• State Whips

Yes, I want to participate in the work of the NCDA committee(s) I've checked. I understand that I will be receiving background materials for meetings of my committee(s) and may be asked to work in small groups or task forces with other members of the committee on topics of special concern to NCDA. I will try to attend meetings and conference calls; and, if I'm unable to, I'll make an effort to let staff or a co-chair know my views on the matters we're considering.
