Our Decision-Making Process

ACA, like many associations, wrestles with issuing public statements in response to myriad domestic and global issues. To help guide our decision-making process, we have developed the framework below, which was approved by ACA's Governing Council in April 2024. The framework helps ACA leaders decide when to speak out, defer to other experts in our community or monitor the issue.
