Join the SMA Team and Get Involved

All members of SMA are encouraged to support the organization through volunteer positions. SMA depends on its members to participate in a variety of supporting capacities to ensure our mutual interest in the creation and dissemination of knowledge about the art and science of management.

The diagram above shows how you can become involved in SMA whether you are looking for your first volunteer role or you are a seasoned volunteer veteran. Numerous leadership opportunities also exist within the SMA and we are always looking for dedicated individuals to fill these roles.
