Committees

These members and public safety officials accept the added responsibility of committee activities. What's their reward for countless hours of service … the personal satisfaction that comes from helping the organization flourish. If you have some time and talent to spare, contact Club Administrator Lori Richmond to learn how you can become involved with one of our committees.

  • Members of the Action Committee come together at the time of an in-the-line-of-duty death. They respond on behalf of The Club by personally presenting a substantial benefit to the surviving spouse within a respectable time after the loss of their loved one. Annually, the Action Committee reviews and distributes a dependent award to eligible children of our fallen heroes.
