Committees

Six committees work within the structure of PennTIME to advance TIM initiatives in Pennsylvania. While these groups often work independently, there are often opportunities for collaboration when multiple committees share similar interests and goals. Additionally, targeted subcommittees may be created as needed to achieve specific tasks and operational goals.
