2024-2025 International ACAC Committees
Interested in contributing to International ACAC, but not sure where to start?
While much of the work of International ACAC is carried out by members of the Executive Board, there are nine standing Committees that also do work for the association. Volunteering to serve on one of them is a great way to get involved!
- Committee terms begin on July 1 and end on July 30 of the third year.
- Applications for committee service open annually in December for the following year.
- Committee members are selected by the appropriate Vice President and approved by the Executive Board.
Watch the December 2023 Member Engagement Webinar here!
