GRQC Committees - Be in the Room Where the Magic Happens!
GRQC's committees are where the work gets done that makes our exciting programs and events happen. We have six standing committees and we form ad hoc committees as needs dictate. We encourage everyone to participate; you don't have to be a Board member. Just email the chair and tell her/him that you'd like to help. You'll receive a warm welcome - guaranteed!
