Understanding the Structure and Function of ARRL Committees

The American Radio Relay League (ARRL) is guided by a mix of permanent and temporary committees, with some members being elected while others are appointed. Committees such as the Executive Committee, Standing Committees, Election Committee, and Advisory Committees play essential roles in advising the Board, although they do not set League policy. Each committee has specific duties ranging from membership services to financial oversight and volunteer resources, ensuring that all affairs are administered effectively.
