Committee Work in DAR
Most of the volunteer work of DAR is carried out through a committee system at the national, state, and chapter levels. At the chapter level, the Chapter Regent appoints Committee Chairs based on interest and availability, ensuring that as many committees as possible are active and supported.
Our chapter members are an integral part of this system—they keep our committees vibrant, engaged, and able to provide meaningful service to our local communities.
