What is the Education Committee?
The education committee develops educational programming on ADHD through the lifespan for APSARD. These programs include continuing medical education (CME) and non-CME (such as ask the expert) webinars, slide casts and newsletters. This programming is available through the APSARD affiliated site: www.adhdinadults.com.
The education committee is also excited about its involvement in the novel programming for CME being developed on ADHD2020, which will be available in the coming year. We enjoy serving as co-chairs to interact with our key committee members and further education about ADHD, which is a core mission of APSARD.

What is the Membership Committee?
The membership committee is dedicated to furthering the mission of APSARD by recruiting and maintaining a diverse group of researchers, educators and clinicians in the field of ADHD and related disorders.
The membership committee is continually exploring new ways to “spread the word” about the value of being a member in APSARD and exploring additional opportunities to bring value to members.
Built upon the pillars of a collegial exchange of information, education, collaboration, advocacy and mentorship; APSARD members strive to improve the lives of individuals struggling with ADHD and related disorders.
