Scope and Contents

The DPCA forms committees to deal with specific matters important to the Club, such as providing educational seminars for members, dealing with grievances, and revising the club's Constitution and bylaws. The Officer and Committee Files includes lists of directors, officers, committees and their members, as well as records created by various Club committees in the course of business. The records of some past Directors and Officers (Presidents and Treasurers) are included. These records may overlap and complement those found in other Club Administration series records. More committee reports can be found in "1.1 Meeting Minutes."
