Committees
AITP of the Ozarks provides IT education and IT networking opportunities to members of our professional chapter, members of our student chapters, and the local technology community. None of our programs would be possible without help from each of the following committee members!
Would you like to help grow our community of IT students and IT professionals? If so, please consider volunteering to help with one of our committees! Commitments range from a few hours each week to a few hours each month, and are a great way to develop your soft skills and build strong connections with other IT leaders.
