Our Standing Committees

Amenities Committee

The mission of the Amenities Committee is to reach out to our members and their families who are experiencing illness or loss as soon as we become aware of them. We realize that these are private moments, and sharing them, particularly with some folks that we might not even know, may be the very last thing on our minds. Whether or not you can do so yourself, or even permit others to contact us on your behalf, please know that the LWAAAC community stands by to offer you hope and comfort.

The committee meets once a month.

Chair: Karen Robinson

Community Services Committee

The Community Services Committee initiates, plans, and implements projects and activities to support a specific need of a predetermined community group in the Montgomery County area. This requires working with local schools and community support organizations to assist in achieving their goals.

The Community Services Committee may also collaborate and partner with other Leisure World clubs to advance their project goals.

The Community Services Committee usually meets once a month.

Chair: Juanita Sealy-Williams

Membership Committee

The Membership Committee enrolls new and renewed members into the LWAAAC organization and maintains the membership roster and database. A monthly membership roster is distributed to the LWAAAC board. The committee responds to requests from Leisure World and non-Leisure World residents for membership information. The committee also distributes the LWAAAC president’s welcome letter to new and renewed members.

As a new initiative in 2023, the committee instituted “New Member Orientation.” The first session was conducted in November 2023, and ongoing sessions are planned to begin in September 2024. The committee also supports the LWAAAC Fall Membership Meeting.

The Committee meets on the 2nd Thursday of each month.

Chair: Alfonso Holston

LWAAAC's Health and Wellness programs provide our community with options to improve their physical, mental, and emotional well-being by providing resources, and education aimed at preventing illness and injury.

Public Relations Committee

The Public Relations Committee publishes substantive written material about LWAAAC that serves both to inform the membership and provide documents suitable for archiving. This includes writing and submitting articles for the Leisure World of Maryland News, preparing and distributing the organization's newsletter, The Drumbeat, and maintaining organizational displays in the Leisure World showcase.

The Public Relations Committee generates profiles of LWAAAC members that are emailed and published on this website at Meet Your Neighbor. These profiles will alternately honor long-standing, steadfast members and introduce new folks to the LWAAAC community. The committee meets on an as-needed basis.

Chair: Sherry Weaver

Technology Committee

The Technology Committee provides short-and long-range planning for all technology initiatives: innovation, vision, goals, program objectives/strategies/activities, infrastructure, evaluation, and budgeting. The committee collaborates with all standing committees in support of their technical objectives. The committee maintains the organization's websites, event calendars, email accounts, and cloud storage.
