Committees
All HASBAT members are asked to serve
on at least one of the following committees. There is no limit
to the number of employees from a company who may serve on a
committee or the number of committees on which a member company
can serve.
To join any of these
committees at any time, please send an email to the chairperson
of that committee by clicking on his/her name.
In order for HASBAT to be a vital, thriving organization that
can meet the needs of our members in today’s ever-changing small
