Committees
Committees are the backbone of our Club. It's committee work that makes everything happen! All MAGS members are encouraged to volunteer to serve on one or more committees.

Types of Committees:
MAGS has two types of Committees: Standing Committees and Adhoc Committees. Standing Committees are ongoing to carry out regular Club functions throughout the year. New Standing Committees can be formed at any time by making a request to the Board. Adhoc Committees are formed as needed by the Board to complete a specific objective and are disbanded when the job is complete.
