FMCA Committees

FMCA's committees assist the Executive Board in promoting FMCA's mission and purpose. Most changes in FMCA policies, procedures, and member benefits stem from the recommendations from committees.

The national president appoints committee members, who often have a particular interest or skill that falls within the committee's focus. Some committees are ongoing, while others form for a specific term or purpose. Please contact FMCA's National Office at (800) 543-3622 if you have a question for a committee or if you would like to reach any of these members.
