Our PTAA contributes a lot to our community. And our PTAA committees are the driving force that make it happen. Led by our hard-working committee chairs, our diverse committees offer lots of opportunities to harness your interests and strengths in service to our community. With flexible opportunities large and small, you can make a significant difference in ways that work with your life (and your bandwidth).
