State Affiliate Council
The State Affiliate Council was established in January 2012 to serve as an advisory group to ASCO’s Board of Directors on issues relating to ASCO’s State and Regional Affiliates and their members. The Council collaborates with and supports effective communication between the ASCO Board and ASCO’s domestic membership.
Specifically, the Council:
- Identifies unaddressed needs and develops consensus for Board consideration
- Disseminates information about ASCO’s public policy priorities to its membership
- Responds to Board of Directors inquiries
- Provides feedback to ASCO on draft policy statements
Each state/regional affiliate has a voting representative on the ASCO State Affiliate Council. This representative serves as a bridge between the affiliate and the Society.
The State Affiliate Council meets each year in the spring and fall. The State Affiliate Leadership Conference is held annually in the fall in conjunction with the State Affiliate Council meeting. Below are details for the remaining 2020 meeting dates. Invitations are sent out at least three months in advance. A decision on holding an in-person versus virtual meeting is still pending.
