action groups

The GHTA Action Groups are comprised of volunteer members, led by a chairperson with a board member liaison. Each Action Group has identified a need within the industry and works to address that need, with Board approval.

The GHTA encourages its members to become active in an Action Group(s), as your input is vital to the industry at-large.
