Project Committees & Task Groups
TPI TAC and the TPI Board of Directors establish Project Committees and Task Groups to address specific issues important to the industry. Project Committees and Task Groups typically have a finite task, and once the mission is complete, the Project Committee or Task Group is dismissed. Project Committees are typically explicitly formed to develop or reaffirm an ANSI consensus standard, while Task Groups address other issues not requiring the more formal ANSI consensus process.
