Hey there! If you’ve ever wondered how we make strides in sleep medicine, it’s all thanks to our dedicated volunteers who serve on various committees and task forces. These groups play a crucial role in advancing our mission, and I wanted to give you a quick rundown of what they’re up to for the 2025-2026 period.
50th Anniversary Task Force
First up is the Task Force focused on celebrating our big 50th anniversary in 2025. They’re brainstorming ideas for events and resources to mark this milestone, including interviews with past leaders who have influenced sleep medicine. It’ll be a great opportunity to reflect on our history and achievements!
Accreditation Committee
Next, we have the Accreditation Committee, which is busy evaluating our accreditation programs and standards. They’re responsible for making important decisions regarding accreditation status, and they’re always looking for ways to improve the process. Their goal is to ensure that everyone gets the quality sleep care they deserve.
Advocacy Committee
Then there’s the Advocacy Committee, which takes on the vital role of pushing our policy priorities at various levels of government. They work hard to build relationships with elected officials and develop strategies for engaging members in advocacy efforts. If you’re interested in making a difference in this area, they could use your voice!
APSS Program Committee
Last but not least, the APSS Program Committee collaborates with the Sleep Research Society to shape the annual SLEEP meeting. This is where the latest in sleep science and education comes together, and it’s a fantastic opportunity for learning and networking.
If you’re interested in volunteering, keep an eye out for the annual call for volunteers in February 2026. It’s a great way to get involved and give back to the community!
