NWFPA currently has more than 20 volunteer-run Committees and Task Forces. Committees are established by the Board of Directors and have the distinction of being permanent or "standing." Task Forces can be established by the Board of Directors or a Committee Chair, and are usually created with a specific task in mind.
Get Involved
Becoming a member of an NWFPA committee is easy. Under each committee is a description of membership requirements and the committee’s focus. If you are employed by an NWFPA food processor member company, live in the Northwest (Idaho, Oregon, or Washington) and meet the individual requirements of the committee you would like to participate in, just contact the Staff Coordinator and they will let you know how to get started or you can contact NWFPA directly at 503.327.2200 to find out more about a specific committee or task force.
