Committees and Task ForceOur Committees and Task Forces exist to serve as mechanisms for change within the Association. Since CFTA is a volunteer-based organization, it relies on the participation of its community to help define long-reaching goals and evolve to meet them. Listed below are our current, Board approved Committees and Task Forces. Are you passionate about something that you feel CFTA should be a body of knowledge of?
