State Committees
The Society has a number of committees. Chairpersons of Society committees are appointed by the Society President, serve at his or her pleasure, and do not have any set term of office. These committees carry out various functions for the Society. In terms of functions, there are three basic categories of committees.

Practice Areas Committees The role of practice committees is to bring together members of the Society with an interest in a particular area of practice so that they can explore and share information about a particular practice area, obtain education and training in that area of practice, and maintain and further develop their knowledge and skills in that practice area. Some of the practice committees provide consultation related to their particular areas of practice. Current practice committees include:
- Creativity & Transformation Committee
- Disaster Preparedness Committee
- Independent Practice
