Standing Committees
PEP's Volunteer Committees
PEP’s volunteer committees are essential to planning the events and activities that achieve our mission and improve the value of membership. Serving on a committee is also a great way for you to expand your network. And don’t forget your colleagues: this can also be a great opportunity to engage your employees, especially your young professionals, with PEP and to help them gain new experiences and skills.
