Community Service Program Committees

We hope that all of our members are interested in participating in one of the five program areas run by board members. You may become involved or attend a program in one or all of the areas. We have provided contacts for each area in the hope that you might contact the chair and get involved. If you have an idea to share, we are happy to hear it!

Each of the five program areas is responsible for presenting one program during the year. An extra meeting may be arranged for those especially interested in the topic, providing further information, a training/workshop and opportunities to volunteer in the community or support a specific project through a program year.

Past programs have included a talk by a local doctor about his experience volunteering in Rwanda; a local member of the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition’s experience in Ethiopia and Tanzania meeting with entrepreneurs, capitalists, farmers, and children; and a discussion closer to home about the challenges faced by refugees and immigrants in New Hampshire.
