SDMS Committees & Task Forces
SDMS Committees serve as the foundation for the Society's efforts on behalf of its members. Committee members are volunteers who have agreed to contribute time and energy to the committees' activities.
SDMS Task Forces consist of members who have agreed to contribute time and energy to a specific activity or cause. Volunteer positions on each task force are appointed by the current SDMS President. The President chooses members who have specialized in the activity or has experience with the particular cause.
