Narcissa whitman's committees
Committees are where the work gets done in the chapter!

DAR has over 40 different committees focused on our goals of education, historic preservations, and patriotism. With many committees to choose from, each chapter can focus and work on the ones that best serve the community.

​Just in the past two years, we have accomplished so much!
