The ACBS Developing Nations Committee links ACBS members from the developing nations to the bigger ACBS Community. The committee also wants to take ACT to developing nations where it hasn’t been introduced yet. The ACBS Developing Nations Committee has grown to include the following duties:
• Support ACBS members in developing nations, including training, clinical supervision, and research supervision,
• Support Chapters and Affiliates located in developing nations,
• Review the applications and select the recipients of the Developing Nations Committee Scholarship,
• Fundraising for the Developing Nations Training Fund.
We are always looking for new volunteers who want to serve on the Developing Nations Committee! We meet 11 times a year and ask that volunteers offer 2 hours a week of their time. This may wax and wane. The committee takes a perspective of utilizing Working Party approach where a committee member takes accountability and coordinates with volunteers not on the committee for a goal oriented, time limited project. Please indicate your interest here!
