ILMA’s committees are at the heart of the Association's work.
ILMA committees tackle industry challenges, host industry and government speakers, provide regulatory updates, and drive advocacy efforts. They committees offer a valuable forum for members to engage with colleagues, discuss specific topics, and support each other.
The committees meet semiannually at ILMA Engage and the ILMA Annual Meeting. Whether it’s during formal committee meetings or informal networking sessions, the in-person component adds a valuable dimension to the committee experience. Between ILMA meetings, committees utilize our online platform, BoardEffect, to exchange information and share documents.
“One of the big benefits is the chance to sit down to talk about some of the opportunities that may be there, changing environments, and how we can help each other through those areas.” -Scott Lindsay, MidContinental Chemical Co., ILMA Supplier Member
