Committees play an essential role in Camelot Society. We utilize committees to draw up new policies, discuss strategies, fundraising events, communications needs and human rights, to mention a few topics. Committees consist of a variety of staff, including Individual Support Counselors, Managers, Administrators and Board Members. Committees provide great opportunities for staff who want to make a difference. If you’re interested in joining a committee, please contact Associate Director Karen Adams.
