Tri-Cities Lapidary Society is powered by volunteers. Our directors guide the society's governance and operations, while committee leaders coordinate many of the programs and activities that bring the society to life.
Board of Directors
The Society's Board of Directors is elected annually by the membership at the Annual General Meeting held each November.
Committee Leaders
Committee leaders coordinate key Society activities, events and programs.
