1998-99 CAS Participation Survey To Be Released

The 1998-99 CAS Participation Survey will be mailed to all CAS members on June 8. The survey consists of descriptions of the activities for each committee and estimated time commitments for committee service, plus a questionnaire to indicate volunteer preferences for individual CAS and AAA/ASB committees and other CAS opportunities. Watch your mail for this important link to the successful volunteer operations of the CAS.

Associates are invited to serve on any committee except those labeled Admissions (except for Student Liaison), Audit or Discipline Committees. However, Associates should not feel obliged to complete the questionnaire, given the significant time commitments for committee service, which can be a significant burden on those studying for Fellowship exams.

The CAS has a wealth of volunteer opportunities for you, including task forces formed to meet short-term needs. Or you may wish to participate in a continuing education program or write a research paper. While volunteering requires commitment, the professional rewards are great. Get involved or continue your involvement in 1998-99 by returning the questionnaire by July 13 to the CAS Office. You don’t have to be "an expert" to serve. To the contrary, service is what creates the experts.

Any member who checks off "very interested and intend to serve if asked" for a particular committee will be contacted by the appropriate committee chair by November 1.
