ACSM Committees

ACSM needs your leadership! Committees play a vital role in the operations, planning and development of the college. Committees serve a variety of purposes, from planning ACSM events to developing educational content, supporting ACSM programs, reviewing grant and award applications and more.

All members are invited to express an interest in serving on an ACSM committee. Placement preference will be given to those not currently serving on a committee. A list of ACSM committees and descriptions are provided below.
