PASA has five working committees with a focus on members and the industry at large. The PASA board is responsible for appointing each committee’s Chair and delegating duties and specific responsibilities. The Committees and the Board are assisted in delivering the business of PASA by a Board Executive, appointed by the Board.
Each committee is made up of volunteer PASA members. Our committees also regularly call upon other members, as well as specialist non-members to create working groups for specific programmes of activity or projects. Recent examples include the GMP Working Group, DC Governance Working Group, Data Working Group, Dashboard Working Group, eAdministration Working Group and Master Trust Transitions Working Group.
