CCA Committees

Help Shape the Future of Your Compensation Association!

The Chicago Compensation Association needs your help in shaping the future of the Association and of its members! Your Association thrives and survives based upon the work of many volunteers. While CCA brings programs, education and services to our members, we believe that it can be better.

To make it better, we need your help. Consider becoming a member of one of CCA’s active committees. Your investment of time can help determine the direction, purpose and value that CCA brings to you and all of its members.

Volunteers for the following committees are being sought. We would love to hear from you and have you join one of these dynamic groups.
