Join a committee 

Member volunteers are the backbone of our society. We rely on member engagement to drive innovation and move change forward. Our members—working together—advance the visions and missions of the Societies by developing and recommending policy, providing advice on editorial issues, awards decisions, and assisting in building a more dynamic and member-focused Societies.

Join an editorial board

The Societies publish thirteen peer-reviewed journals. The editorial boards uphold the editorial standards of our Societies and the peer review process by shepherding papers through the peer review process.

Most editorial board positions serve up to two consecutive three-year terms. If you are interested in becoming an editorial board member, please click the button below.
