HAVE A VOICE. MAKE AN IMPACT.
SHAPE THE FUTURE OF THE CLUB.
Committees are an important part of DAC’s memberowned governance, bringing member perspectives into meaningful conversations that help guide the future of our Club.
If you’re looking for a meaningful way to get more involved, committee service is a great place to start, especially for those who may be interested in future Board service.
In an effort to draw upon the education, career experience, and talents of the Dallas Athletic Club membership, the Board of Directors invites all members who have an interest in serving on a 2026 Committee to submit an application by March 4, 2026
