Each line needs to be ended in Paragraph mark and not a line break.
I don't see what that would have to do with it; there's no reason you can't
create this format in a single paragraph (in fact, I have just done so in a
document I'm working on, and it worked fine), and if it's a single
paragraph, then the tab leader should be consistent for every line (not
periods on some lines and hyphens on others).

Each line needs to be ended in Paragraph mark and not a line break. So
enter
a committee position, TAB and committee name (or vice versa), Enter, each
on
a separate line. You should now have 8 paragraph all on separate lines.
Then
select all the lines and use Format, Tabs to set the Tab Leader left
aligned
to the point where you want the alignment.

I had about eight names and eight committee positions to list on
successive
lines in a Word document. I used the manual line break after each one so
that I would have only one paragraph format, if that makes any sense. I
selected the leader with the lower row of dots. Half of the names tabbed
to the committee position with the midlevel dots and half with the lower
level dots. If I went back to the tab set function and used no leader
all
the dots disappeared so I know it was one paragraph. What gives? I put
in
a footnote saying that I didn't know the cause or they would have thought
me careless.
