As much as possible, the committee will represent the Annual Meeting audience at large in terms of work setting (clinicians, academics, researchers), experience level and demographics. We are seeking creative, detail-oriented, forward-thinking ASHT members to serve on the committee for our 2027 Annual Meeting in Portland, OR.
