Welcome to the AUA volunteer community. The AUA is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion across race, gender, age, religion, identity, and experience. Organizations that are diverse are proven to be better organizations. The volunteers should represent the diversity of our specialty and our society and are selected based on a consistent history of engagement, productivity, and activities to promote the AUA.
The AUA standing committee, advisory boards and serving on the AUA Council are a great way to get involved and promote excellence throughout the academic anesthesia community.
As a volunteer leader you have an opportunity to:
- Advance and foster the field of academic anesthesiology
- Collaborate and engage with other members in the academic anesthesia community
- Network with other AUA members
If you’re interested in becoming a volunteer leader, view the Volunteer Leadership Guide.
