2020- 2021 Committees
You are welcome to join any of these committees! Once we have a list of when chapters and divisions meet, we will put out a list of when committees will meet in hopes of not overlapping.
We have so much talent in our state. Let’s find your strengths, your gifts and add to our Palmetto pool!
Feel free to contact Jennifer Bazer (NFB of SC State President) at either of the below methods to join a committee or if you have a question.
