Our committees
As a member of VSA you get to join all our events, but there’s even more fun to be had! As an active member you get to join one of the many committees which organise our events or run other aspects of the association. At the end of each year, active members get to join a special event organised by the board as a final thank-you for their year of hard work. Next to this, joining a committee is also a great way to develop skills, get to know other members better, and it is a worthy addition to your résumé (CV)!
You are always welcome to attend a committee meeting before deciding whether to join a committee.
