The AAOA is committed to member involvement. Our committee structure is the backbone of program development
and implementation for member services and specialty advocacy. As such, committee activity is a great learning
opportunity to become more involved with the AAOA and potential rise to leadership roles. We encourage all members
to volunteer for committee service. Below we have defined the role of each committee. Please consider where you skills
best fit and what you would like to learn more about when choosing a committee.
To apply, please send us a letter with a brief bio-sketch indicating the top three committees on which you
would like to serve, why, and the skills you can bring to these committees. In addition, be sure to include your name,
address, phone number, and email where you can best be reached. Please fax your volunteer application to the AAOA at (202) 955-5016
by November 30, 2008, to be considered for the committee of your choice.
