A Correct Listing of CAR’s 2018 Standing Advisory Committees

March 20, 2018 by AC Editor

CAR announces the 2018 Standing Advisory Committees

As is want to happen sometimes, Agency Checklists made a couple of errors when it published the latest appointments for CAR’s 2018 Standing Committees back in February. Our apologies to all whose names we mangled or omitted…

With that said, we reckoned the best way to resolve the issue was to reprint them all here.
