**ASB APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN**
What are commissions?
Everyone who is not in a specific leadership role in ASB gets to be a part of a commission. Each commission has around 3-6 members including a commission lead. Commission leads are in charge of organizing and delegating the work assigned to their commission as well as communicating with the Directors, Officers, and other leads to work towards different goals. Each commission can be sorted into the following categories: Recognition, Outreach, Culture & Community, Engagement, and Publicity.
