Working Committees of the Maine Indoor Air Quality Council

Much of the Council’s work will be done through the various standing and ad hoc committees. The committees represent the major mechanism by which Council members can be involved, and participation is strongly encouraged.

MIAQC members and others have the opportunity to serve on one of the four working Committees. The interdisciplinary nature of the Council and its committees provides an effective environment for the development of “best practice” and policy recommendations to address IAQ concerns, as well as for the development of educational programs of value to all professionals involved in healthy indoor environments for Maine.

A list of available committees is shown below.
