ASCA is a primarily volunteer-driven organization and offers our members volunteer opportunities to share knowledge with their peers or lead at the state, regional, or national/international level. Involvement with a professional organization is a great addition to your resume/vitae.
Ways to Connect
There are several ways that our members become involved in our Association. At the most basic level, the Association provides networking opportunities for our members to connect through the various functions and platforms hosted by the Association throughout the year. These include:
- Joining a Committee or Community of Practice
- ASCA Annual Conference (includes volunteer opportunities) attendance
- Donald D. Gehring Academy attendance
- Student Conduct 101 and 201 attendance
- ASCA Forums (available in the membership login area)
- CONNECTIONS

Ways to Volunteer
Accepting a leadership position within the Association comes with tangible personal and professional benefit to the member and their employer. Leadership opportunities are gained either through elected positions, such as Board of Directors service, or appointed positions, such as Co-Chairs for Committees, Communities of Practice, Regions, and Presidential Task Forces. All of the position requirements and responsibilities are outlined in the Association’s governing documents.
