KyANA Committees

Leadership Identification Committee

KyANA committees kick off each year after the Fall Meeting to begin their work for the upcoming year.  In order to keep the organization moving forward, we cannot do it without you.  Committee size ranges from 4 - 15 members and the majority of communication is done via Zoom calls.  The time commitment is small but the impact is great.  Sign Up To Serve Today!
