Committees

Our TNPS committees are all volunteer. These are the members who get things done and keep our activities and events happening. All TNPS members are eligible to serve on any of the nine committees shown. Just email  info@tnps.org with your name and which committee(s) interests you. Your email will be forwarded to the Committee Chair who will then contact you. The form on the  Volunteer page also allows members to express their interests in specific areas and/or committees. Either way just let us know that you are interested in helping; we will be glad to hear from you. Members with an asterick (*) beside their name are planning on stepping down.
