Our recent survey showed that docents would like easily accessible information on the identity of Docent Council members and Standing Committee chairs. They are also interested in the dates of Council and Committee meetings so that they might plan to attend. Here is a list of the individuals to contact and their usual meeting dates. Committee Chairs all stated that they welcome visitors to their meetings, and hope that some will be interested in joining their committees. Self-governance is one of the unique elements of CAC Docent culture, and contributing to committee work is a great way to get involved, have your voice heard, and really get to know docent colleagues. All you have to do is raise your hand.
