Program Committees

FAFCC operates with the help of four Program Committees. Members and Associate Members alike are encouraged to volunteer on a Committee. Meetings generally take place once a month via conference call lasting 60-75 minutes. Terms are one year (October – September), and members may serve multiple terms.

“The conference planning committee is an amazing group. Committee member plan and implement meaningful content that helps other clinics by improving morale, sharing best practices, and creating inspiration for others. Being apart of this committee has given me the ability to meet other members, share ideas, and take part in positive change for free and charitable clinics across the state. I enjoy the monthly meetings leading up to our annual conference where we come together and learn, grow, and become more motivated to continue our missions”

- Theresa White, Executive Director, Community Dental Clinic
