Ad hoc Committee

Membership Committee

This committee’s charge is to provide insight and direction on membership recruitment, engagement, and retention. The committee is responsible for supporting the mission, vision, strategic plan and initiatives of the ASEV Board of Directors and collaborates with the ASEV Board, committees, staff and Society membership on strategies, challenges, and needs regarding membership.

This committee meets on an as-needed basis. However, it could be as much as four (4) times a year. Meetings are often held by conference/video call.

Committee members are comprised of professional and emeritus members per the Ad hoc Committee Protocol and are typically selected in June/July each year to be approved by the ASEV Board of Directors in August.
