Committees are an important part of the administration of the Master Association. Some are limited in the number of members; others are open to as many residents as are interested in volunteering. In addition, the Master Association Board appoints a Task Force when they determine that a special topic warrants. A Committee is on-going and serves to advise the Board, and in specific tasks, act on behalf of the Board. A Task Force is formed to work on a defined project.
