• Manage and maintain your online CAS profile
• Participate in discussions with other members of the community
• Access information on the CAS Committees on which you serve
• And much more!

The Volunteer Interest and Participation (VIP) Survey comes out every July. This is an easy way to learn about all of the existing committees and to let the committee chairperson know of your interest. If you missed the Participation Survey or you don't want to wait that long, please contact Shelby Wolff (swolff@casact.org) or Mikey Bevarelli (mbevarelli@casact.org), and they would be happy to help you get involved!

Yes! We definitely desire and welcome your involvement! (Note that the Exam Committee is limited to Fellows, but there are many other committees who need you.) Remember, joining a committee and volunteering is an excellent way to meet new people.

Joining a committee is not required of members, but there are excellent benefits to the member and the CAS that come from volunteering. There is no limit to the number of committees on which you serve. Each member knows their own work load and how much time he/she has to devote to committee work. The CAS does not want committee work to be a detriment to your work load.

Every volunteer group is different and requires a different time commitment. Most host hold conference calls (typically an hour in length) several times a year. Additional work/time may be required, depending on the activities of the group. If a working group, task force, committee, or other opportunity sounds interesting to you, simply contact Shelby Wolff (swolff@casact.org) or Mikey Bevarelli (mbevarelli@casact.org) and they would be happy to answer any of your questions.
