Philippine-American Association of Madison & Neighboring Areas
PAMANA holds regular board meetings throughout the year and has several standing committees that meet to plan and discuss various topics to help advance its mission.
The committees are: Scholarship Committee, Cultural Education Committee, Social Services Committee, Community Outreach Committee, Communications Committee, and Membership Committee. To participate in the committees, the individual has to be a Member. Several ad hoc committees have also been established. Ad hoc committees have a specific task or event driven mandate. Each ad hoc committee composition varies. For a full list of current committees, read more.
All Members are welcome to attend in the board and committee meetings to find out what's going on with the board and committee work, or to be an observer. If you want to speak during the committee or board meeting, please let the president or committee chair know ahead of the meeting. Please contact PAMANA if you're planning to attend the board meeting or committee chair(s) for attending committee meetings.
