What is the time commitment?
While serving on the ACC, conference attendance each fall is required. As a committee, the ACC meets throughout the year with one all-day virtual planning meeting in the spring and 5-6 additional virtual committee meetings. Committee members also review conference abstracts in January and February, which can be a time commitment of about 8-10 hours. 

How long is the term?  
Committee members serve one, two-year term with the option to renew for another two-year term. Members cannot serve on multiple committees at the same time.
