HFTP COUNCILS AND COMMITTEES
Volunteer for an HFTP Council or Committee
HFTP committees and councils provide guidance and leadership to the association assuring that HFTP remains at the top of its league.
The councils & committees are organized into two engagement levels. Please take a moment to review the engagement levels and councils below to help determine which would be the best fit for your involvement.
Engagement Level I:
Requires members to attend a face to face meeting, participate in numerous conference calls throughout the year, and provides the potential for public speaking opportunities.
This is our highest level of engagement and will require that your schedule and resources allow you to fully participate. The following councils/committees are considered Engagement Level I:
