ASHA Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteer!

Service is one of the three critical elements, along with teaching and scholarship, towards earning tenure. ASHA offers a variety of volunteer opportunities with an interest in advancing the professions. Whether through a multi-year appointment on a board or council or serving on an ad hoc committee with a specific project, ASHA provides opportunities for members to grow, to collaborate, and to network with colleagues from all over the country.

Interested in volunteering?

• Review the list and descriptions of  ASHA's official committees, boards and councils.
• Contact the committee, board, or council Staff Liaison to inquire about volunteering.

Other less formal or shorter-term volunteer opportunities abound in the discipline as well.  Here are some examples of recent opportunities:

• Topic coordinators and reviewers for state, regional, and national meetings including the ASHA Convention  
• NSSLHA chapter advisors
