Through the continual documentation of its activities and dissemination of information throughout the association, each committee advances the management expertise of the entire industry. Through LOMA's Committees, industry professionals have the opportunity to explore issues, exchange ideas, develop a network of peers, and serve the industry as a whole by contributing to surveys, conference programs, research, and articles in LOMA's award-winning magazine Resource. Many committee members also serve as textbook and examination reviewers for LOMA's education and training programs. Committees offer member company employees opportunities to discuss current issues with their peers and also provide valuable input into the development of LOMA products and services. Typically, committees focus on a specific product, administrative unit or functional area, or on a specific industry topic.
Some committees are international while others focus only on the U.S. and Canada.
Both individual committee members and companies benefit from committee participation. The knowledge gained from LOMA committees results in a savings of both time and money to the individuals and companies involved. LOMA has over 50 committees in the areas of Technology, Operations, Human Resources, Financial and Strategic Management, General Industry Research, and Education. Only member company employees are eligible to participate on LOMA committees. For detailed information about the committee process and descriptions of each committee, click here .
