Mission :  The mission of the committee is to serve in an advisory role in meeting the objectives of the Standard Forms Business Plan.  The committee reviews existing forms for legal accuracy and relevancy, provides input in the development of new forms, and advises on policy issues to ensure that the Association is positioned to respond quickly and effectively to emerging legal requirements, new legislation, changing business practices and consumer trends. (July 1994) – The Forum on Forms provides the Standard Forms Advisory Committee with a vehicle for gathering and distributing information related to the creation and development of C.A.R.’s Standard Forms.  Input received at the Forum on Forms is carefully evaluated by the Committee and is crucial to the Committee in meeting its core mission goals.
