In addition to the committees shown below, at its last meeting the Board suggested an additional one, the Ad Hoc Committee on Other Benefits, not health related. It is our hope that this committee will be able to secure for our members discounts at hotels and for other services such as car rentals, restaurant meals etc. At this point we are looking for people who are interested on serving on such a committee. If you are interested you can call our executive secretary, Gerry Smith, at the ARTA office and let him know. As president I am encouraged by the hard work of the committees and their chairs. They have accepted their roles with enthusiasm and dedication.

Tasks: 1. to serve as liaison between the office staff and the Board of Directors; 2. to report concerns raised by the office staff regarding operational matters; 3. other office-related areas that need the attention of the committee.
