Join a Committee
Our Committees
ASCBC has five standing committees that carry out the work of the organization. Each committee has a Chairperson who is responsible for leading the committee, delegating responsibilities to the committee members, and reporting progress to the Executive Board.
Any member of the General Assembly is welcome to serve on an ASCBC committee. Serving on a committee is a great way to build your leadership skills, make friends from other schools, and gain experience in ASCBC. Most committees meet virtually every other week.

Elections
Committee
The Elections Committee is responsible for running every part of ASCBC's annual election, from publicizing election deadlines to overseeing voter education materials to receiving reports of campaign violations. To ensure a fair and transparent election, students who serve on this committee may not run for any elected office in ASCBC or endorse/support any candidate.
Communications Committee
The Communications Committee plans and executes ASCBC's communications strategy. This includes communication to key stakeholders like students and the Baltimore City community. The committee maintains ASCBC's social media pages and website.
