Committees
Joining a committee, task force, or workgroup is a great way to further your contribution to The Aesthetic Foundation and have a more active role in advancing your industry.
To join a committee, you must be a member of The Aesthetic Foundation.
If you're interested in joining a committee, we ask that you first submit an application to notify us of your interest. If an opening is available, a member of The Aesthetic Foundation will invite you to join. Due to the limited seats available, not all those interested are guaranteed a position.
The time commitment required for each committee varies. Some committees rely on the committee members to proactively lead initiatives and meetings, while others are led by The Aesthetic Foundation's staff or leadership team.
