Committees

DCBA Committees

The Delaware County Bar Association has two types of Committees. “Standing Committees” are created pursuant to the Association By-Laws and cannot be changed without By-Laws revision. “AD HOC Committees” are created by the President, in consultation with the Board, as necessary.

To join one of these Committees or get more information about them, please contact Nancy Ravert Ward, Deputy Director, at nancy@delcobar.com.
