There are many ways for members to get involved in AASA. Each year we have a variety of programs and activities to appeal to our diverse membership. To make these activities possible, we depend heavily on the work of AASA Committees. Within these committees, all the behind-the-scenes plans take place. These committees are open to the ideas and suggestions of any members who wish to join. Below is a list of the different committees along with a description of their activities.

Community Service Committee & Fundraising Committee

The Community Service & Fundraising Committee provides AASA members with opportunities to share their time and talents with members of the local community and also coordinates fundraising activities to fund various AASA activities. Committee activities include: mentoring and tutoring at Aiken Elementary, Relay For Life, carwash and doughnut sale fundraisers to assist AASA members in lower costs of the annual retreat.

Chairperson: Patrice Kendall

Cultural Committee

The Cultural Committee coordinates activities which celebrate the history and contributions of African Americans. Committee activities include: Kwanzaa Feast (a university wide celebration of the African American holiday celebration), the cultural film series, and the annual Students' Conference. Chairpersons:

Fellowship Committee

The Fellowship Committee’s goal is to develop stronger membership bonds through teamwork and fun activities. Committee activities include: Intramural sports (softball, flag football and basketball), coordinating the annual AASA retreat (2004/Jacksonville, FL; 2005/Memphis, TN; 2006/Savannah, GA; 2007/Atlanta, GA), and various social outings.

The Traditional Activities Committee coordinates all major annual events (which do not fall under the direction of other specific committees) which invite the campus community to interact and with the AASA membership. Committee activities include: Showcase (entertainment show) and the AASA formal. Committee Chairperson: Tammi Banks
