Get involved with Southeast ACSM
Southeast ACSM has a variety of opportunities for professionals and students who want to volunteer and get more involved.
We are especially interesting in providing early career professionals with opportunities for service and leadership in the chapter and experience toward achieving ACSM Fellowship.
We also want our student members to become active SEACSM members and volunteering at the Annual Meeting is a great way to do that!
Service opportunities include:
- Reviewing abstracts for the Annual Meeting
- Chairing sessions at the Annual Meeting
- Judging award presentations at the Annual Meeting
- Helping organize and run the Student Bowl at the Annual Meeting
- Serving on the Mentoring Committee
- Mentoring students in the LDTP and SEACSM Mentoring Program
- Helping coordinate the Fall Lecture
- For students: Assisting with student activities at the Annual Meeting
Please complete the SEACSM Volunteer Form to let us know how you are interested in volunteering to assist the SEACSM chapter.
Mentoring opportunity through the ACSM Strategic Health Initiative for Women, Sport, and Physical Activity (SHI- Women)
The goal of the SHI-Women is to address current issues facing women's health and fitness through clinical practice, research, public information, advocacy, and leadership/mentoring programs. Currently, females represent approximately 50% of the ACSM membership. Yet, less than 25% of those women have achieved fellowship status. Please consider volunteering to help the SHI-Women in building its mentoring program.
Any ACSM member in good standing who has achieved fellowship status is eligible to be a mentor. The commitment to serve is for a minimum of 3 months. I have included an infographic below that describes the process. For more specific information regarding the Mentoring Women to Fellowship Program, you can view the ACSM volunteer webpage.
