New Chairs Committee

The New Chairs committee supports new AMSPDC members appointed within the last three years. The Committee members familiarize new members to the organization, maintain a mentor program and develop the yearly New Chairs Program. Our goal is to foster a welcoming collaborative learning environment to help chairs transition into their roles. There are monthly calls and members assist with communication, mentorship and content development.
