PACEP Committees

Chapter committees serve as a valuable resource to the PACEP Board of Directors. Work to be done is delegated to the committees in the form of objectives, and recommendations formulated by committees are brought to the board for final decisions. The chapter has progressed towards its mission and objectives over the years largely as a result of the serious deliberations conducted at the committee level.
