State Management Committee
QRI is governed by a volunteer State Management Committee (SMC), who in essence, act as a board does to a public company.
The SMC consists of up to 12 people who volunteer their time to work in conjunction with QRI staff. All are committed to providing members with a wide range of quality services and savings and are always willing to receive feedback and suggestions.
