Technical Council

The Technical Council provides the Association with specialized expertise, developing the technical program for the Association’s Annual Conference & Exhibition (ACE), conducting specialty conferences, providing resources for workshops, webinars, joint society-sponsored meetings and seminars, conducting and reporting on state-of-the-art studies, providing technical review capability to governmental and other organizations, and participating with regulatory groups to guide future regulatory direction.

How is the Council organized? The Technical Council is organized into Groups, Divisions, and Technical Coordinating Committees (TCCs). View the committees and groups in your area of expertise to see how you can get involved.
