Volunteers play a critical role in shaping FPSA.
These roles are designed for members interested in guiding discussion, advancing meaningful initiatives, and collaborating with peers to deliver value to the broader membership. Leadership positions are two-year commitments and include both virtual engagement and in-person participation at FPSA events.
Volunteer openings are updated as needs arise, so we encourage members to check back for future opportunities.
