The majority of the work completed by the Mobile Market Coalition staff is overseen by one of four main committees. Members of these committees include staff as well as Coalition Advisory Board members, who provide oversight and guidance on new and ongoing projects to ensure that the work meets the needs of the network and its operators.
To make sure even more voices are heard in this work, the Coalition is now accepting volunteer members to join these committees. Lend your thoughts to the growth and success of the Mobile Market Coalition!
Each committee meets for one hour per month, with the expectation of around one additional hour per month of work supporting those meetings. If you would like to be considered, read the committee descriptions below and complete this brief form.
