The work of the ALIRP is accomplished primarily through the work of eight committees including The Executive and Finance Committee, and seven Advisory Committees (Communication, Development / Fundraising, Outreach, Direct Support, Volunteer Engagement, Education, and Advocacy). The Board of Directors Finance Committee has authority to make decisions about matters related to finance, and includes at least three Board members. Each Advisory Committee includes at least one member of the ALIRP Board of Directors as Chair or Co-Chair, and additional volunteers, former board members, and student interns.
