Self Nomination for ACT Board Committees - Due December 18

As a membership organization, the strength of ACT lies in the collective effort of our members that volunteer their time and expertise!

ACT's committees work on behalf of the Board of Directors to provide advice and guidance on the organization's operations, leadership, programming, and policy; helping the Board build a solid foundation for a strong future.

Why volunteer to serve on a committee? Committees provide a unique opportunity for members to dive deep into a specific issue or topic area that is key to the success of the organization. Volunteering is also great professional development and provides opportunities to collaborate with TDM professionals from across the country and with varying backgrounds. By surrounding yourself with others who do what you do, you'll not only learn about the industry, expand your professional network and acquire new knowledge but you'll be helping ACT grow at the same time.

Criteria for Committee membership: Committee members must be ACT members in good standing. Agree to attend and participate in all committee meetings.

What else is there to know? Most committees will meet a minimum of four times a year. Some committees may meet in-person during ACT's International Conference. All committees will be chaired by a member of the Board of Directors. Members may submit interest in several committees but may only serve on one at a time. Committee terms are two-years, starting January 1, 2021 and expiring December 31, 2022.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee

The Board of Directors voted in November 2020 to establish a permanent standing committee on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and approved the following statement, which has been added to ACT's mission and vision:

As an organization, ACT celebrates our differences, seeks and continues to improve equity, and supports a culture of respect.  ACT is committed to a better journey for everyone in our communities, as we strive to improve the quality of life for all people.


The Committee will have a membership of 7-19 members based on diversity.  A formal charter will be developed by Committee members and approved by the Board of Directors no later than April 2021.
