If you are interested in getting more involved with the SGMP Sacramento Chapter, then please take a look at the list of committees below and sign up for one or two if you haven't yet done so. We have all kinds of committees ranging from short-term commitments that are event-based and other ones that require a year-long commitment. We have something for everyone and can use your help and your ideas to make these committees educational and fun. Our committees are only successful due to the efforts of volunteers like you!
While some committees meet in person on a regular basis, other ones communicate via conference call or email, so if you live out of town, please don't let that prevent you from being a part of a committee.
