Overview

ASA has established five Advisory Councils, each a coalition of thought leaders that leverage the insights, knowledge, talent, relationships and experience of its members to advance ASA’s impact in aging. Each Council is composed of ASA members committed to working together to make positive change by fostering diversity, inclusion and equity.

We are seeking applicants from a cross section of sectors (such as business, academia, nonprofit and government), experience (including students, senior leaders, seasoned frontline staff and retired members), disciplines (such as tech, social work, community-based services, arts, community engagement and financial services) and diversity (such as members of color, members with disabilities, religious leaders and LGBTQ+ members of all ages).
 
Time Commitment:
Two-year term. Advisory Council members should expect to spend between 15-20 hours each year advancing the work of the Council, including attending quarterly meetings.


To Apply:
Complete this form, which includes short statements (up to 250 words each) about:

1.     Your specific skills, experiences, credentials, etc.
2.     How your background, experience or skills will contribute to the work of the Advisory Council
3.     Project, program and/or event ideas the Advisory Council could take on
4.     What diversity, equity and inclusion means to you

To ensure no work is lost, you may wish to type and save these responses in a separate file and paste them into this form.

Council leaders will select applicants that represent a range of skills, experience, ideas and perspectives based on these responses.
Our goal is to recruit truly multidisciplinary Advisory Councils. Please use this opportunity to apply for a Council that you feel could benefit from your knowledge and experience, even if it is an area you haven’t traditionally engaged in with ASA.
