PCD Foundation Committees

Each committee meets via teleconference every month. Committees are tasked with monitoring the progress of PCD Foundation program areas (research, education and advocacy) and are responsible for developing program initiatives at board direction, making recommendations to the board and reporting progress. Board membership is not required for committee participation. If you are interested in participating in a committee, please contact us.
