Volunteer With the ACFP
Get Engaged. Make a Difference.
Commitee Renewal Process
We are delighted to announce a bold renewal of our operational committees aimed at enhancing collaboration, efficiency, and collective impact. This will involve combining the following committees:
- The Membership Advisory Committee (MAC) and the Awards and Recognition Committee (ARC)
- The Continuing Professional Development Advisory Committee (CPDAC) and the Virtual Education Committee (VEC)
These newly formed committees will be known as the Members Engagement and Recognition Committee and the Education Committee respectively. This strategic move will broaden our scope while streamlining efforts in delivering effective communication, strengthening our recognition program, and advancing high-quality educational initiatives to our members.
Whether you’re interested in shaping member experiences, advancing educational excellence, or contributing to our membership’s recognition efforts, there’s a role for you to play in driving our shared vision forward. We invite you to join us and get involved to make a difference!
Nothing About You Without You
The ACFP prides itself on the work it does—the programs and services it offers its members and the advocacy efforts it employs. All of this success can be attributed to the dedication and commitment of our volunteer members. Be it taking in a shadowing student during the summer or sitting on a planning committee, none of our work is possible without our members who step up and inform and advise our staff on programming.
