Continuing Education
This committee works on the broader-based issues of educational programming within ACOM. It is not directly involved in the specifics of the Annual Conference or the Summer Education Conference.

Marketing / Communications
The marketing / communications committee is involved in communications such as ACOMmodate, At-A-Glance and the ACOM website. This area is also involved in broader marketing issues such as the image of ACOM among employers, meeting and convention industry players and the public. The committee allows everyone an open forum to exchange article topic suggestions and strategically discuss ways to promote ACOM throughout the media.

Chair: Madonna Carr, CMP, Meet Minneapolis
