Committees
Five standing committees conceive and plan the work of the Isle Royale & Keweenaw Parks Association and make recommendations to the board. Committees are chaired by a board member. Association members are welcome to serve on all committees except the personnel committee. Committees usually meet at least twice a year at the same time as the board meetings.
