Looking for the Committee Preference Form?
The form formally known as the Committee Preference Form has a new look and a new name this year: the NIRSA Committee and Work Team Application. With the multitude of volunteer opportunities available, we’ve renamed the form to be clear that it includes both committees and work teams for all NIRSA Leadership Groups. Be sure to check out the Committee & Work Team Application Information page for a list of current opportunities and details about completing the application.
