Committee Members

Updated January 29, 2026

The Programs Committee provides evening events on a roughly monthly basis from October through May. These indoor events are typically a presentation on an outdoor adventure or a more educational presentation on topics such as Maine State Parks or winter weather on Mount Washington. Our events are open to all, members and non-members alike. Please scroll down to view the next Programs activity or visit the calendar page to see all future activities.

  2. Coordinating events, speakers, venues, logistics, publicity, and other arrangements;
  3. Identifying and promoting educational resources for members through media including newsletters, mailings, and the chapter website;
  4. Supporting other AMC events involving meetings and educational events with resources and coordination;
  5. Assisting other AMC Maine Chapter Committees by serving as point of contact for member educational sources.
