The ACR’s Affiliate Society Council Growth Boosted by Increase in State Societies

From the College  |  Issue: December 2016  |  December 13, 2016

The ASC also helps state societies increase awareness of their annual meetings to rheumatologists and rheumatology health professionals in their state. ACR staff work with ASC members to send email blasts to ACR members in their respective states, as well as surrounding states. This gives the state societies the opportunity to reach out to rheumatology professionals who are not yet members of their state rheumatology society.

Is Your State Working with the ACR?

Visit the ACR’s state advocacy page to see if your state society is receiving all of the benefits of working with the ACR. If your state is not a member or your state does not have a state society, contact ACR advocacy at [email protected] to find out how you can get your state involved.
