Working Groups (Subcommittees and Task Forces)

Much of the work of SOAP is done through working groups (subcommittees and task forces) that align under SOAP committees. These hard-working volunteers create materials for patient and provider use, design events, select award and grant recipients, determine the institutions that meet the standards of Centers of Excellence designation, and more. If you want to get involved, watch for the call for committee interest each spring.
