Committees

What are the Lowell Makes Committees?

Lowell Makes has a committee structure that helps to make sure everything that needs to happen to keep the doors open can occur in a timely and well organized manner. The Committees are made up of volunteer members of Lowell Makes and consist of one person who serves as Chairperson and a selection of other voting and advisory members who make up the rest of the committee. Each Committee has a set of responsibilities and it is their job to make sure those tasks are completed.
