IDA Committees

IDA has several important Committees that help us accomplish our mission. These committees welcome IDA members who would like to contribute to IDA’s mission of promoting quality, evidenced-based early intervention to infants and toddlers and their families.
 
Benefits of active volunteer service include opportunities to develop and grow as a leader, cultivate new skill sets, and expand your network of Early Intervention peers, professionals, parents, community leaders, and thought leaders. If you have an interest in serving, please contact the committee chairperson at [email protected] to learn more about the committee’s activities and how participation can be of benefit to you.
