The bulk of the AMHB's work is accomplished at the committee level.
Committees work independently and each is staffed by a specified staff member.
Committees meet during all AMHB meetings and also often convene in person or via teleconference in the interim between full Board meetings. Committees report all activities and recommend actions to the full Board, which must approve all committee recommendations in a public meeting. Committee meetings are open to the public. The five AMHB officers compose the Executive Committee. The committee, within limits set by AMHB priorities, policies, and procedures, acts on behalf of the AMHB between regularly scheduled meetings.
