Serving on AZA Committees
To be eligible for a committee chair or vice chair position, candidates must be professional fellows in good standing. Committee member individual qualifications include:
- Proven performance in their field
- Commitment and time to serve
- Permission of home institution
All committees and task forces work under the guidance of the Board of Directors. The Chair-elect of the Board, in consultation with the Executive Committee of the Board and the AZA President / CEO, appoints all committee and task force chairs, except the Ethics Board which is elected.
How to Get Involved
AZA members should express interest to committee chairs, attend open meeting portions of committee meetings held at mid-year and at the annual conference, volunteer to work on task forces, and, of course, submit your name to the Chair-elect when the call for committee membership goes out, typically in April or May of each year. Be sure to secure the support of your institution for committee participation.
