Committees operate under the guidance of the Board of Directors and play an important role in advancing the mission of CBI. Their purpose is to support the work of the organization—both in governance and community care—by assisting the Board, staff, and members. Committees are organized into three categories: Board committees, staff-led committees, and community committees.

​​​​

Cemetery Committee

Chairs: Scott Barton and Ron Ackerman
