COMMITTEES

Our committees work together so businesses in our industries can thrive.

Communications Committee

Our communications committee ensures our members know what’s going on and equips them with resources to communicate about our industry with their customers.

Chairperson: Amy Bortz

Expo Committee

Our expo committee plans the annual HPBExpo and works to make it the best event of the year for our industries.

Government Affairs Committee

Our government affairs committee monitors code, regulatory, and legislative issues in the U.S. and Canada. They also define, and advocate, with the consent of the Board of Directors, the HPBA’s position on all codes, regulatory, and legislative matters in support of the interests of all segments of the industry without regard to the commercial interests of any particular segment. Finally, they build and sustain affiliate government affairs programs to pursue and protect the industry’s interests at state and local agencies—including alerting, educating, and informing affiliate groups of industry issues.

Chairperson: John Shimek

Market Research Committee

Our market research committee oversees the Association’s efforts to collect and distribute accurate statistical information about the industry to participating firms and appropriate organizations in order to promote, protect, and grow the industry. 

Chairperson: Amy Bortz

Affiliate Leaders Committee

Our affiliate leaders committee brings together our regional leaders to understand how our members are doing across North America.

Chairperson: Joan Nutting

Every business in our industry should have a clear path to grow—and a seat at the table to shape government regulations.
