Volunteer Opportunities
Service with the AATE provides three primary benefits to member faculty. First, you can develop your leadership skills by participating in a work group or committee. Then, working alongside peers from around the country, you expand your network and increase your institution's and your personal visibility. Finally, service to the AATE is the best way to ensure that your institution maximizes the value of membership through the improvements you help build as a part of your committee’s or work group’s outcomes.
The AATE is currently looking for two individuals to fill positions on the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee, two for the Faculty Development Committee and one for the Faculty Institute Committee. Positions begin as of July 1st and are for two-year terms.
The AATE is also forming a new work group to review the AT each | moment web presence and develop methods to promote the initiative to potential students and stakeholders. This work group will operate for four to six months, and we are looking for 3 - 5 individuals.
For details about these and other volunteer opportunities, please review the charters below. Interested individuals should complete one or both of the forms below for each opportunity that is of interest.
