The standing committees of the American Crystallographic Association (ACA) play an essential role in shaping the programs, resources, and opportunities that support our members and advance the field of structural science. Each committee focuses on a specific area—such as communications, education, membership, finance, or meetings—and works closely with ACA Council to help guide the organization’s growth and impact.

Our committee members are volunteers who bring enthusiasm, expertise, and a shared commitment to strengthening the ACA community. Through their work, they help ensure that our association remains vibrant, inclusive, and responsive to the needs of crystallographers everywhere.

Below, you’ll meet this year’s standing committee candidates—dedicated members eager to contribute their time and ideas to the future of the ACA. We invite you to learn more about each candidate and cast your vote to help shape the leadership of your Association!
