ASTA’s committees meet by conference call throughout the year and typically hold in-person meetings twice annually. The meeting materials and communications for all meetings will be coordinated by the staff liaison and chair for each committee and distributed prior to all meetings.
The 2020 committee meetings will be held virtually by videoconference due to the pandemic.

| Get Involved in ASTA!
ASTA is always seeking qualified volunteers to work with the various committees to help execute the strategic goals of ASTA. Volunteering is a rewarding experience that allows you to connect with colleagues old and new, help shape ASTA’s activities and programs, and develop your professional skills. If you are interested in being invited to any of these committees as a guest to see if serving on an ASTA committee is right for you, the first step is contact staff at info@astaspice.org. This is so we can ensure you have a seat at the table and have your name badge ready for you. As a reminder you must be an ASTA member to serve on an ASTA committee or be invited as a guest to participate. Beyond these Committees, ASTA also regularly develops new Task Forces to work on special projects. Let us know what kind of volunteer opportunities you are interested in and we will let you know when the right opportunity comes available. |
