BECOME A MEMBER OF AN ASCO SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP
Thank you for your interest in becoming a member of an ASCO Special Interest Group (SIG). Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are a primary means of implementing ASCO’s mission of “fulfilling the leadership role in the optometric education enterprise” and for addressing the Association’s Strategic Objectives of faculty development and faculty involvement. SIGs are volunteer-driven communities of interest for faculty and administrators focused on a specific area of knowledge or learning. SIG members benefit from the networking and collaborative education that takes place digitally in on-line community boards, via conference call, and in-person. They are an excellent way to gain knowledge, keep abreast of trends, develop new skills, and develop a network of colleagues who can provide new insights and support. SIGS are also involved in the implementation of ASCO’s Strategic Plan through the development and implementation of member services, such as the creation of educational offerings, the development of recommended standards, and the collection of specialized data. If you have a question about joining one of ASCO’s SIGs, please reach out to Jennifer Rubin, Director of Meetings and Special Interest Groups, at jrubin@opted.org.
