FAQ's:
Q. How often do committees meet?
A. The committees set their meeting schedule at the beginning of each calendar year. Meetings take place through an online webinar link and on average committees meet for one hour each month.
 
Oftentimes there are action items for the committee to work on in between meetings, for example: the Membership Committee assists with member outreach during our renewal drives and outreach to prospective members; the Event Committee works with the host team and national office on a variety of tasks in support of the conference(s) that takes place in addition to the regular meeting schedules. 

 

Q. What is the benefit of joining a committee?
A. It's a great way to get more involved with the leadership group of HHN. Each committee is chaired or co-chaired by an HHN Board Member. Committee work is a great way to build connections with your industry peers as well as provide an opportunity for professional development as we deep-dive into a variety of programs essential to HHN's mission.
