Committee: Member Advocacy

AREA’s Member Advocacy Committee is designed to provide members with financial and or legal assistance arising from the results of qualifying disciplinary hearings or legal challenges.

A committee of AREA’s Board of Directors is responsible for administering the program, including determining the method and amounts of assistance provided to members. Member requests are evaluated based on four primary questions and meetings are convened ad hoc.
