NALF Committees
Grassroots Action Through NALF Committees
The NALF president makes
appointments to several
committees each year. These
committees exist to ensure
certain aspects of the association
run properly. They give a
voice to the membership by
bringing their needs and
concerns to the board.
Please take note of the following
committee assignments
and description of the ten
committees for 2018. NALF
president, Gary Fuchs, and
NALF thanks these committee
members in advance for their
service and dedication to
the advancement of NALF
and the Limousin breed.
