Board Committees
Our standing committees are always looking for dedicated volunteers, and any of board members would be happy to speak with you about how you can get more involved. We also frequently have ad hoc committees which will be announced via organization-wide emails (please confirm that your memberships are active and you’re subscribed to receive emails).

Communications Committee
The Communications Committee is tasked with media relations and publications duties, as well as creating graphic and print materials to assist with community and organization engagement. Communications also maintains the website.

Judicial Evaluations Committee
The Judicial Evaluations committee evaluates prospective candidates for judicial appointment. To help with this committee, or if you are applying for appointment to a judicial position and seek a rating from QLaw, email the chair of the Judicial Evaluations Committee.
