![]() SPN COMMITTEESSPN's committees and task forces are working groups comprised of dedicated volunteers who contribute time and effort to achieving annual goals. The Chair and Chair-Elect of committees are appointed by SPN leadership, and both committee and task force work is integral to the fulfillment of SPN's strategic goals.
