COPA COMMITTEES – VOLUNTEERS AT WORK
Like most associations, COPA relies on the dedicated and knowledgeable volunteers who contribute on an ad hoc or on-going basis to its continuous improvement. Committee work requires support of one’s employer and a commitment to meet 3 – 5 times per year, on average. There may be additional work to be completed outside of regular meeting times. From time to time, new committees are struck or existing committees require additional members. If you’d like to find out more about volunteer opportunities with COPA, please email
