Subcommittees, Working Groups and Technical Officers

Subcommittees, Working Groups and Technical Officers
Elected or appointed, and mostly volunteers, these CIVL workers aim to solve the many problems that arise daily, throughout the year. In the longer term, their aim is to look to future development, to suggest and make improvements in each discipline. They always operate in accordance with the purposes and aims set forth in the CIVL Long Term Plan.
