Membership Committee

The Membership Committee maintains or increases Society membership and recommends appropriate measures to attract new members and retain existing members. It monitors attitudes of members toward the Society by means of surveys, correspondence, and other avenues of communication. It recommends programs to address membership professional needs and problems.

The Membership Committee is composed of up to nine members with staggered two-year terms; half of whom are appointed by each new AFS President who designates the Chair from among the Committee. Members will include the AFS First Vice-President, Second Vice-President, President-Elect, and Chairs of Division Membership Committees. All members of this Committee are voting members with the exception of the AFS President and staff.
