The success of ASA Midwest Council’s events and services are due in part to the hard work of our committees. Year after year, our events surpass expectations because of the creative and inventive volunteers who make up our committees. One of the best ways to maximize your membership is to join a committee.
We are always looking for new committee members, so please contact our Executive Director, Susan Winkelmann, at [email protected] if you are interested in joining one of the committees.
