Committees play a vital role in our work. Most committees have a meeting or conference call every other month.
We welcome new members! You can visit a committee meeting to meet people and learn more about what we do. Please contact the chair if you would like to come to a meeting or find out more. Serving on a committee is a fun way to learn more about Rock Creek, be involved in the community, and get to know other people who care about Rock Creek.
