Faculty and trainees can get involved in leading the Academy by serving on one of five committees: Educational Scholarship, Teaching, Membership, Educator Advancement, and Innovation. Each committee consists of a two co-chairs and at-large members. Committee service will initially be either 2 or 3 year terms, thereby staggering term expiration dates for committee members. The terms for the chair and vice chair will alternate to allow for continuity in the leadership of each committee. Academy members sign up for committees in which they have interest, however the election of committee chairs and vice-chairs will occur within each committee.
The charges and rosters of current committee members are available below.
