Philadelphia Chapter CSI has 13 standing committees. Every member is encouraged to get involved in a committee, both for personal professional development and to strengthen the relationships that are the foundation of any successful group. We have tasks that require as little as 3 hours per year, others that go up to a few hours per month. Please contact the committee chairman or any of the chapter officers if you would like to know more. Chapter chairmen are appointed by the president, but all committee positions are volunteer.

Awards Committee
In addition to preparing the annual list of chapter award recipients, this committee prepares nominations of chapter members for Region and Institute awards, and maintains the chapter’s archives. This requires a greater time commitment than we have been giving it, and therefore should involve more members to spread the tasks to a realistic level. Commitment: Meets in March and April, hosts May meeting.
