Committees


ADA has two committees who meet throughout the year to discuss issues and topics affecting our members.

Our Committees complete projects, known as Workstreams, that they, our Board of Directors, and our Branches identify as important to the work of ADA’s members.

You can find out more about the constitution of our committees in the ADA Committees Guide. The membership and minutes from our Committees’ meetings are available below. To request any Committee papers please contact us.
