AMA Committees
The AMA’s committees are designed to provide ideas, best practices and lessons learned to help the entire industry rise to the challenges of our times. We encourage members to sign up and participate.
Committee meetings are held monthly and run approximately 30 minutes. Most to-do items can be completed during the meeting itself, making participation easy to fit into a busy schedule.
