COGA utilizes its committees to provide critical member input and direction on COGA strategies and activities. They allow for member companies to contribute their perspectives and expertise to the organization’s efforts and for COGA to maintain a unified and thoughtful strategy on regulatory, legal, legislative, outreach, programming, and other issues.
Committee participation is an exclusive, COGA member benefit. Serving on a COGA committee is a great way to grow your network, deepen your expertise and develop leadership skills. Some committees require specific qualifications and participation may require approval to join.
