Our committees are the backbone of CTAMFT’s work. Learn what each committee does and what it’s like to get involved, both the work and the fun! We know joining can feel overwhelming (we’ve all been there), but you can participate on your own terms and with whatever time you have. It’s a great way to give back, be part of change, and connect more deeply with CTAMFT. The only requirement? Be a CTAMFT member!
