Task Force on the Areas of Specialty
The Task Force to Revise the Areas of Specialty was charged to examine and update the categories of areas of interest in use throughout the Association. These areas of interest appear, for example, on the membership application form and on the biographical profile for each member. Each member is asked to select up to four areas of specialty, or interest. These data are used for many purposes, including production of customized mailing lists, and monitoring of trends in the discipline. While new categories have been added periodically to coincide with the addition of new sections, there has not been a complete re-examination of the list for more than a decade. The Task Force was asked to prepare a revised list of specialties for submission to Council by January 2004. The Task Force expects to submits its final report to Council in August 2005.
