Committee members are nominated by units within the Lawrence, with the aim of providing contact points and representation from each group. Appointments are confirmed by the Lawrence Leadership. The current Committee list can be found in the Safety Manual. - Questions? Contact the Safety Committee Chair Cory Welch.
