Join the American Thoracic Society for a fast-paced webinar featuring PhD & MD -prepared scientists who hold or have held leadership roles across ATS at ALL committee activities, what those experiences have meant for their careers, and how early-career investigators can identify “on-ramps” to meaningful involvement. Speakers will offer concrete tips on how to volunteer, pursue committee and assembly opportunities, build professional networks through ATS, and translate engagement into long-term leadership development. The presentation of information will be followed by interactive audience driven questions and discussion.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Describe a range of ATS roles and activities available to scientists, including common pathways into Society service and leadership.
- Identify concrete entry points for early-career involvement (e.g., assemblies, committees, working groups, abstract reviewing, educational programming) aligned with their interests and goals.
- Apply practical strategies to build a personalized plan for engagement in ATS, including how to connect with leaders, volunteer effectively, and sustain involvement over time.
