What is the function of the House of Delegates?

The AARC brings together some of the most creative and motivated professionals that the Respiratory Care Profession has to offer. Twice a year the AARC HOD meets to work towards accomplishing its stated mission to “Serve as a representative body of the general membership and the representative body of the affiliate societies,” and to “Participate in the establishment of the goals and objectives for the Association and participate in the governance of the Association.”

In addition, the mission of the House of Delegates, consistent with the mission and purpose of the Association, is to guide and influence the activities of the Association by providing communication from and among Chartered Affiliates to the Executive Office and Board of Directors to determine and achieve the strategic goals and objectives of the Association. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the committee chairs at the e-mail address listed below.
