Become a Volunteer
Why Volunteer?
ASHA members help shape the Association’s direction. By volunteering, you
- share your time, talent, and ideas to strengthen the professions;
- help your professional association meet the needs of members and those they serve; and
- benefit personally and professionally by
- connecting with colleagues,
- building lasting relationships,
- enhancing your technical skills,
- expanding your leadership experiences, and
- creating new opportunities for yourself and your career.
ASHA encourages you to get involved in ways that work for you! The Association offers so many opportunities to suit your interests, level of effort, and available time commitment.
Volunteer with ASHA
Explore ASHA’s volunteer opportunities with varying levels of commitment:
- Flexible Volunteer Opportunities: The Association’s many opportunities are managed through ASHA’s Volunteer Profile System (VPS). Sometimes referred to as microvolunteer opportunities, these flexible volunteer opportunities may include short-term or episodic projects or initiatives.
- Committees, Boards, Councils: Apply to be considered for long-term engagement (typically a 3-year term) on one of ASHA's 30+ councils, boards or committees (CBCs).
- Elections: ASHA conducts its annual Call for Nominations for upcoming vacancies on the Board of Directors annually, opening in early January and closing in early February.
- State Association Opportunities: Learn more about open opportunities with state associations.
