Global Council
Joining the Applied Neuroscience Association (ANA) Global Council provides opportunities for members to volunteer their time and experience.
ANA’s overall success is dependent on ANA member volunteers lending their support to the Community while helping to build a legacy for ANA in our goal of spreading neuroscience for social good!
Getting involved with ANA varies in type and level of commitment required, dedicating what time you can. It may be a few hours a week or ½ a day a month or a one-off project. The start-point is simply having an interest and desire to contribute.
Our volunteer roles require you to be a registered member of ANA working within the framework of the ANA CODE. Members can contribute to producing different types of content or getting involved in initiatives and events across ANA, including speaking and podcasting.
Listen out on ANA ANNOUNCEMENTS on Discord Server or relevant ANA WhatsApp Groups for volunteer roles with specific requirements that will detail what’s involved and the commitment required.
Meantime you can let us know if you are interested in volunteering HERE!
We would love to hear from you!
Working with us we hope provides significant personal satisfaction and we are so grateful for your support!!
