The ARHP is the premier professional organization for rheumatology health professionals primarily because of the talent and energy of its volunteers and staff. The ARHP needs both new and experienced volunteers to continue its mission, meet new challenges, and grow as an organization. Each and every ARHP member brings unique talents, abilities, and expertise to our organization, and we need your participation. Volunteer opportunities are available to all ARHP members, including international and associate members.

Jan K. Richardson, PT, PhD, OCS, chief clinical officer of Universal SmartComp in Durham, N.C., and 2012 ARHP president-elect, says, “I was asked by another physical therapist to participate on the ARHP Practice and Membership Committee in 2007. The opportunity to meet new people in both my profession and other medical-care professions was invaluable to me as a new member of ARHP. Serving on this committee allowed me to share my career experience within my field of physical therapy with others while gaining greater insight into related professions and the value that these practitioners brought to the care of our patients.”

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 ARHP Executive Committee supervises, controls, and directs the business, budget, and affairs of the ARHP, its committees, products, education, and publications. The ARHP Executive Committee comprises the ARHP president, president-elect, member-at-large finance, member-at-large, immediate past-president, ACR Board liaison (appointed by the ACR president), chair of the ARHP Committee on Practice, chair of the Research Subcommittee, and representatives to the ACR Education and Government Affairs committees. The Executive Committee meets three times a year and holds eight or nine conference calls annually.

The Membership and Nominations Committee is responsible for overseeing the nominations process to ensure election and appointment of qualified leaders, 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 Awards, Merit, and Lifetime Achievement Awards. In addition, the committee handles all membership marketing responsibilities. The committee meets twice a year, plus conference calls.
