FPA of Maryland Committees

Communications

The Communications Committee dynamically covers all communications to the members of our chapter. We work with the different committees to ensure that our members are aware of the opportunities available within our chapter.
The Communications Committee facilitates quality communication between chapter members, FPA National, our local Board of Directors, and our affiliate partners. The committee also oversees content and design of the chapter website. Committee members will work to ensure that local and national chapter news, information, and member benefits are communicated to chapter members.
