COMMITTEES – HANWELL RURAL COMMUNITY

Below you will find a list of committees, members, and statuses. To see the mandate of each committee, please view the attached link Committee-Policy

Our volunteers are very important to us, for they are the voices of our community. Committees meet on a specific day every month or so, and have committed their time, energy and skills to their respective roles – they are vital to the success of these committees.
