VOLUNTEER TO HELP OUR ASSOCIATION
Whether you have volunteered in the past or are new to the profession, there is room for you and your ideas! Choose to help in one (or more) committees or lend your expertise in a specific area.
We WANT you. We NEED you. We cannot do it without YOU!
COMMITTEE DESCRIPTIONS & CHAIRS
All committees (except Historian) are made up of a chair, a co-chair, and committee members. Committee participants will serve for one year (May 1 through April 30) in their role. It is anticipated the co-chair will move into the chair position where they will serve for one year. This provides an opportunity to gain experience and learn the responsibilities of the role.
Volunteers may serve in more than one committee at a time.
Communications Committee (formerly Association News)
The Communications Committee facilitates the creation and dissemination of important information to members of the Association. It does so primarily through regularly distributed newsletters, email campaigns, and updates to the UASFAA website. The committee develops the Association master calendar which accounts for national, regional, and ED events. It also develops communication policies and practices that aid in awareness of news within the industry. While it maintains a high level of creative and editorial freedom, all official communication is approved the by the Executive Council prior to publication. The committee works directly with TechOps for website updates and email campaigns.

Conference Planning Committee
The Conference Planning Committee coordinates the planning and execution of the annual spring conference and fall training. Some tasks include securing event locations and overseeing event meals, meeting rooms, vendor areas, and hotel blocks. These events focus on meeting the professional needs of members and support the Association's mission and long-term goals. While the physical facilities and preparation fall under this committee, the Professional Development & Training Committee is responsible for the event programming. The two committees will work hand-in-hand for successful delivery.
