SHEA accepts volunteer applications on a rolling basis, although applications are considered by committee chairs only in November. You will be notified in December if you are selected. Two positions on average are available year-to-year for each committee. Your application will be kept on file for 5 years and will be reconsidered each year. Committee members generally serve three year terms.
