OK, folks...now's the time to really step up! Here are some example committees that we can use for our planning structure. These committees will likely shift a bit, but this will give us a sense of what folks are interested in. Please add your name after the committee name in bold red type (click "Easy Edit" to do so, after you've created an account and signed in). The number of hours per week or month that each committee will require will vary, depending on how many people sign up, how we design the work of the committee, and what volunteers we find. If you have any questions about any of the committees, please email Heather at heather (at) campusconference (dot) org as soon as possible.

The one line after each committee is a very brief description of what could possibly serve as the functions of the committee. These will be shaped by all of us; this is just a starting point!
