Trouble With 2 Open Connections Using MultipleActiveResultSets=True

Hi I'm trying to have 2 datareaders open at the same time with MultipleActiveResultSets=True but still getting an error saying There is already an open DataReader associated with this Command which must be closed first. Do you see what I might be doing wrong? Thanks.

<configuration>
  <connectionStrings>
    <add connectionString="user id=username;data source=servername;persist security info=True;initial catalog=corporate_mel;password=password;MultipleActiveResultSets=True;" name="corporate_mel" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />


 Dim strConnection As String
        Dim sqlConn As SqlConnection
        strConnection = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("corporate_mel").ConnectionString
        sqlConn = New SqlConnection(strConnection)
        sqlConn.Open()

 

This is the actual code where I'm trying to use 2 datareaders:

 ' Retrieve Data from database based on selections chosen in ListBox
Dim cmdCommittee As New SqlCommand("Select * from committees_tbl where committee_id in" & _
"(" & strCommitteesRemoveLast & ") order by committee_name", sqlConn)

' setup a datareader
Dim drCommittee As SqlDataReader = cmdCommittee.ExecuteReader()


' Loop through datareader and insert rows
' into the xref_person_committees_tbl
While drCommittee.Read()
Dim strCommitteeName As String = drCommittee("committee_name") 'retrieve committee_name from datareader

' Create a sql string
Dim strAddCommittee As String = String.Empty
strAddCommittee = "Insert into xref_person_committees_tbl (committee_name) values ('" & strCommitteeName & "')"
'Response.Write(strAddCommittee & "<br>")

' Create a sql command to process the insert
Dim sqlAddCommittee As New SqlCommand(strAddCommittee, sqlConn)
Dim drNewCommittee As SqlDataReader = sqlAddCommittee.ExecuteReader()


End While
