Volunteering with the ARHP can broaden your horizons and help you develop new skills that could be beneficial to your career. Volunteer opportunities are available to all ARHP members, including international and associate members, and there are many ways you can become involved in the ARHP.

Executive Committee: The Executive Committee is the governing body of the ARHP and determines appropriate plans, policies, and programs for the division, consistent with the policies and procedures of the ACR. The Executive Committee supervises, controls, and directs the business, budget, and affairs of the ARHP and its committees, products, education, and publications. The Executive Committee comprises the ARHP president, president-elect, secretary-treasurer, member-at-large, immediate past-president, ACR board liaison (appointed by the ACR president), and the chairs of the ARHP committees on practice, membership and nominations, education, and research. The Executive Committee meets in person three times a year and has approximately eight to nine conference calls each year.

Membership and Nominations Committee: The Membership and Nominations Committee is responsible for overseeing the nominations process to ensure the election and appointment of qualified leaders who are representative of the diversity of the membership. The committee is responsible for reviewing nominations and presenting a slate of qualified candidates for ARHP elected and appointed volunteer positions and for reviewing nominations and selecting recipients for the Graduate Student, Merit, and Lifetime Achievement Awards. In addition, this committee handles all membership marketing responsibilities. The committee meets in person once a year and has additional conference calls as needed.

Education Committee: The Education Committee is responsible for overseeing the educational offerings of the ARHP. Members suggest future topics for the Clinical Focus Course and Web-based cases, oversee the ARHP Program Subcommittee, develop new ideas for educational products and services, and work with the ACR education committees. The committee meets in person once a year and has additional conference calls as needed.
