About Committees
The La Plaza Board of Directors delegates some of its' work to committees.
Committees are of two kinds, Ad Hoc committees and Standing committees.
Unless otherwise noted, committees do not have the authority of the board
to make decisions or expend funds; instead they make reports and may make
a specific recommendation to the full board. Some committees may be open
to participation of non-Board members. If interested, contact the
committee chair.
Ad hoc committees assist in special aspects of La Plaza's activities.
Ad hoc committees are formed for a specific purpose and are dissolved when
that purpose is met.
Standing committees are formed for specific ongoing programs and are
by their nature more permanent. Standing committees shall continue until
dissolved by action of the Board of Directors.

Rates and Fees
