How to Apply
The policy of inviting member trustees to serve on ACCT Board Committees has expanded membership participation in the governance of the Association while bringing new ideas and expertise to committee deliberations. Committees for 2008 have just been formed.
Member trustees are asked to indicate their interest in serving as an associate committee member for a one-year term by October of the year prior to serving.
Committees for 2008 have already been formed. If you are interested in serving in 2009, the form for application will be available in the summer of 2008.
Those interested in serving should submit the 2009 Associate Committee Interest Form indicating committee preferences (if only one choice is listed and you are not selected to serve on the committee of your choice, you may not be placed on another committee unless a second and third choice are stated). If you wish to include comments relating to your committee choices and areas of expertise you may fill
this in under the comments section of the form. Each request must have a letter of nomination from the individual's board supporting the appointment to an ACCT committee.
