SAJA Committees (2005)

SAJA is governed by a board of directors and operates without any paid
staff, primarily through the help of volunteers who donate their time
and effort to SAJA's activities.

Day-to-day functions of SAJA are carried out through committees in
charge of specific organizational and functional areas, constituted by
the board of directors. These committees work in close cooperation
with the Executive Committee which is made up of the president, vice
president, administrator, secretary and treasurer. Each committee must
be chaired by a Board member and may include Board members as well as
other persons who are members of SAJA.

If you would like to be volunteer for a committee, write to the committee chairs below, cc'ing saja@columbia.edu
