Communications Committee
The ACO Communications Committee oversees all communication with the ACO community. We support our mission to uphold high professional and ethical standards for our profession and provide up-to-date resources to our members. Our committee aligns with the ACO strategic plan through various activities. Committee members help curate and create content for the ACO newsletter, internal email communications, and other channels. We also support forum management, website content development, and coordination with other committees including Marketing, Membership, Programs, and DEIB.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusivity, and Belonging Committee
The ACO's Diversity, Equity, Inclusivity, and Belonging (DEIB) Committee is dedicated to promoting and enhancing the diversity of our membership by cultivating an inclusive culture. This committee is focused on creating a more enduring and sustainable path forward by enriching the organization's knowledge and cultivating diverse voices and perspectives. To achieve this, the DEIB committee designs professional development opportunities for ACO members that encourage learning and dialogue, shares content to increase diversity intelligence through the newsletter, and on the soon-to-come DEIB landing page. They also support other committees by offering insights into opportunities that appeal to broader and more diverse populations. You can reach the DEIB Committee by emailing their Committee Chair here.
