Committees
The standing committees are where the Association's work happens — working spaces where practitioners, researchers, and partners collaborate across the heat field and shape its national reports and recommendations.
Each committee is guided by two co-chairs who convene its members and steer its work.
Members can take part in more than one committee, so expertise flows between areas that rarely share a room.
Committees develop the national, evidence-based reports and recommendations the Association publishes under its own name.
Clinical care and the response of health systems to heat — from recognizing and treating heat illness to preparing hospitals and clinics for extreme heat events.

Committee areas are planned and may evolve as the Association launches. Co-chairs will be announced as each committee is formed.
We're forming the committees now. If you'd like to take part or be considered as a co-chair, we'd love to hear from you.
