Committee and Task Force Guidelines
EMRA committees exist to increase resident involvement in EMRA's decision-making process and to help the board accomplish the work of the Association. In addition, committees serve as sounding boards and sifters of opinion, functions vital to the Board's ability to make important decisions. These guidelines will help committees accomplish their objectives. They allow the chair flexibility in planning the work of the committee while providing a system for tracking progress on each objective and keeping the board informed.
