COMMITTEES/SIGs

Committees respond to the direction and charge of the Board by deliberating the best way to accomplish a task; they explore options and make recommendations for Board action (through the Board liaison). These recommendations may take the form of requests for projects, programs, or expenditures. Committees do not expend funds on behalf of the organization.

The Special Interest Group (SIG) brings a subset of American Society for Pain Management Nursing (ASPMN) members together who share an interest in a particular pain management subspecialty area (e.g. age group, research, modality). The SIG provides a forum for networking and collaborating. The SIG may serve as a resource on practice and professional issues as requested by the ASPMN Board of Directors (BOD). The SIG supports ASPMN’s Mission and Values and functions within ASPMN Bylaws and Policies.

Task Forces are formed by the Board of Directors to carry out a specific charge. Once the charge has been accomplished, the Task Force is disbanded.

Thought Groups are formed by the Board of Directors to address the need to proceed with an identified project or activity. Thought groups meet, via conference calls, and bring a recommendation to the Board for further action on the identified project or activity. Once the recommendation has been accepted by the Board, the thought group is disbanded.
