The tactical operation of BHCA activities is carried out by Club member volunteers who serve on a wide range of committees or in appointed positions.  All committees serve for one year terms and are appointed by the BHCA Board of Directors at or immediately after the Fall Board Meeting.

Contact the Club President or any committee chairman to get information on activities, submit suggestions, or inquire about how to help.
