12 Days of GBA – Day 11: GBA Committees
Summary
Tiffany Vorhies and Ryan White present a year-end series highlighting their favorite GBA resources, counting down from Day 12 to Day 1. Discover why GBA committees are the essential lifeblood of the association in this engaging episode featuring clips from committee leaders across the organization. Ryan and Tiffany explore how committees bring members together—from newcomers to 30-year veterans—to collaborate, solve shared challenges, and create valuable resources for the profession. Hear directly from most of the committee chairs from Multimedia Delivery, Business Practices, Legal Affairs, BizTech, Environmental, CoMET, Geotech, Inclusion Advancement, Peer Review, and Emerging Issues & Trends committees.
