COMMISSIONS & COMMITTEES
Participation in SONS programs is accomplished through working on our Detachment committees and commissions. Commissions consist of six 3-year staggered appointments and Committees are annual appointments. In both cases, we attempt to achieve representation from all areas of the state.
