Most DAR work is accomplished through a committee system led by committee chairmen. Committees provide opportunities for friendship and collaboration while promoting the goals of our chapter, state, and National Society. Some committee work can even be accomplished online using technology to connect our chapter with the community. Your fresh ideas and enthusiasm are important to us! We encourage participation anywhere you have a want, ability, or interest to get involved!
