Apply for an ACS Committee

Membership with ACS committees is an opportunity open to members in good standing. ACS committees and their work advance the College’s mission to improve the care of the surgical patient and safeguard standards of care in a safe and ethical practice environment, and provide meaningful professional development and networking opportunities for members. Please note that the Resident and Associate Society and Young Fellow Association have liaison opportunities for residents and early-career surgeons to serve on ACS committees. 

Applicants should desire to advance the ACS’s mission and serve with a special interest in the committee’s area of focus. They should also be able to meet the time and activity commitments listed below for each committee. 

Prior to applying, please ensure your membership dues are current. To inquire about the status of your membership, please contact dues@facs.org.

Each committee has specific needs and requirements, which are listed below. Please be mindful of these requirements before applying for the opportunity.

Applications will be accepted through June 5, 2026. The committees will review applications from July through October. Appointments will be announced in late October/early November, shortly after the conclusion of the ACS Clinical Congress. Please carefully read the application requirements for each committee and submit your application through their platform. You will receive communications from the staff liaison throughout this process.
