KS&A’s Board of Directors created four standing committees to oversee a number of key aspects of the business and affairs of KS&A. Their membership consists of a combination of Directors and persons who are not current directors. If you would like to be volunteer to serve on any of these committees or would like to contact KS&A about a topic coming under any of their respective duties, please contact us.
