The Specifics
ASNY’s committees are groups of people who work together in an area they are juiced or passionate about. Each ASNY member is encouraged to join a committee that interests them, or ask for help on an issue from a committee chair. Committee chairs hold a vision for what that committee is about, coordinate those involved, and keep people engaged in a process or project.
Join a committee that interests you, ask for help on an issue from the appropriate committee chair, or suggest a new committee that would be useful to patients, practitioners or students.
