GBAA Committees
Committees are a great way to get involved in GBAA.
2026 Committee Chairs
Member participation is essential for the growth of our industry. GBAA committees provide a valuable opportunity to connect with your colleagues and help lead the organization. By volunteering to serve on a committee, you can contribute to our association's objectives while enhancing your professional experience.
Committee members are the foundation of GBAA. Committee members must pledge their time and effort to ensuring goals are achieved. As a GBAA Committee Member we ask the following:
- Actively participate in ensuring that the goals for the committee are achieved.
- That you work with the Committee Chair and other committee members to fulfill the responsibilities as outlined and defined.
- That you attend committee meetings, and communicate when you cannot (two absences with no call/email/general communication can result in being removed from the committee).
- Include Association Executive or GBAA staff liaison in all committee communications.
- Encourage other members to participate in GBAA social events, education classes, dinners, mixers and special legislative events.

Suppliers Council Committee
The Suppliers Council Committee is dedicated to supporting and engaging both new and existing vendors within the GBAA. New suppliers are welcomed through follow-up outreach and meetings designed to help them understand how to get involved, what to expect, and how to make the most of their membership in the Association. A key focus of the committee is advocating for small and emerging vendors, who make up a significant portion of the GBAA community. The committee works to connect these businesses with shared resources, collaborative opportunities, and the ability to participate in events—such as joint promotions or customer appreciation initiatives—that are often more accessible to larger companies. By fostering collaboration, education, and relationship-building, the Suppliers Council Committee serves as a go-to resource for vendors at every stage, providing ongoing support and helping build strong, lasting partnerships within the GBAA.
