Committee Applications
Committee service is how we turn plans into a real reunion experience. If you’re in good standing and ready to show up consistently, we invite you to apply for a committee role. These positions are volunteer-based and involve teamwork, follow-through, respectful communication, and handling family information responsibly. Use this application to select the committee(s) you’re interested in and answer a few scenario questions so we can place the right people in the right roles. Submitting an application does not guarantee appointment—final selections are made by the Family Reunion leadership based on fit, availability, and the needs of the reunion.
