As a membership organization, ASC advances service and volunteerism in the states through a

Geographic Diversity: Applications are encouraged from all states, but priority in selection will be given to applicants from states that are not currently represented on the ASC Board. Targets by geographic cluster are as follows:

  • Seeking one commission staff member/commissioner from the North Central Cluster (IA, IL, IN, MI, MN, ND, NE, OH, WI)
  • Seeking one commission staff member/commissioner from the Pacific Cluster (AK, CA, GU, HI, ID, MT, NV, OR, UT, WA, WY)
  • Seeking one commission staff member/commissioner from the Southern Cluster (AL, FL, GA, KY, MS, NC, SC, TN, VA, WV)

*One or more of these positions may be filled by Youth Commissioners with up to a maximum of three Youth Commissioners. All applicants for Youth Commissioner positions must have a letter of reference from the executive director of their respective commission.

Although applications will be accepted and reviewed for the Atlantic Cluster (CT, DC, DE, MA, MD, ME, NH, NJ, NY, PA, PR, RI, VT) and Southwest Cluster (AR, AZ, CO, KS, LA, MO, NM, OK, TX), it is not anticipated that there will be any vacancies in these two regions.

In addition, up to five members of the Board may be filled by At-Large Board members – individuals who represent organizations or networks that work closely with state service commissions around the country.

Applications are due by 5:00 p.m. ET on Friday, June 28, 2019 using this link.

Serving on the ASC Board is an excellent way to build your professional network and shape the future of the association!
