Specifically, the committee:
- Recommends overall goals and policies for PLT and other educational programs
- Develops annual operating plans and budgets for approval by the Foundation’s Board of Trustees
- Assists in fundraising activities
- Participates in or assists with PLT’s programs and activities as appropriate
- Initiates strategic planning for PLT and other AFF education programs
