IAMFT COMMITTEE LEADERSHIP

IAMFT committees offer meaningful opportunities for members to contribute to the life and mission of our organization—whether you're looking for short-term involvement or ongoing engagement. Committee service is open to all IAMFT members, including those not serving on the Board of Directors.

Committee members generously share their time, talents, and expertise to support key initiatives across the association. Most committees meet virtually, and regular attendance is encouraged. Volunteers are welcome to serve in areas that align with their interests and availability.

Committee service is flexible—members may participate for as long as they wish, without the term limits required of elected Board positions. If you're interested in joining a committee, please reach out to us at info@inamft.org or contact the Committee Chairs listed below.

Note: The IAMFT Elections Committee is the only exception. Members of this committee are elected by the IAMFT membership and serve two-year terms. The Elections Committee oversees the annual election process and ensures transparency and integrity throughout. If you’re interested in serving, please consider running in the next election cycle. To learn more, contact us at elections@inamft.org.
