Assembly Working Groups
Assemblies can choose to form working groups under the purview and approval of the current Assembly Chair. Working groups should include a minimum of five assembly members, but be no larger than twelve. Working groups have a maximum two-year term. Working Groups must complete their goals within the two-year term and cannot be renewed after goals are completed.
Working Groups may be utilized to meet the following goals:
- Facilitate effective collaboration between Assembly Executive Committees and Assembly Members in a particular
area within the Assembly;
- To gain knowledge in a specific topic area under an Assembly;
- Identify learning gaps in specific disease categories; and
- Assess assembly membership needs.
Working Groups should not be created if the main objectives of the group are to:
- Develop an official ATS statement
- Program sessions at the conference
- Plan networking events
These are the functions of both the Planning and Program Committees of the Assemblies and those committees must be utilized.
