Virtual Advisory Committees for AFSA

The new AFSA Governing Board has been seated. Daniel Hirsh, the new State VP has a revamped AFSA page where interested volunteers can sign up for the newly formed virtual advisory committees (see list below).

There are currently eleven committees open to all interested AFSA members regardless of location. The committees meet by e-mail, and advise the State Vice President on issues of interest to members. Additional committees may be created depending on member interest. The newly elected State Reps are also easily accessible via email here.
