ABA Board Member Committee Assignments: 2026-2027

At its 2026 fall meeting, the ABA Board of Directors approved officer, chair and committee assignments for ABA directors. Our 20 exam committees are comprised of more than 150 board-certified anesthesiologists from across the country who support all aspects of the ABA’s certification process and help drive our mission to advance the highest standards of the practice of anesthesiology. They are a significant part of the 800+ physician volunteers who support a wide range of activities, including item writers and examiners.

The ABA’s work extends far beyond initial certification and continuing certification activities. Much of that work is made possible through the dedication of our volunteer leaders, whose service on committees, task forces and advisory groups helps advance innovation, inform strategy, and strengthen programs and services for the benefit of diplomates and the patients they serve. These groups are essential to the ABA’s success, and we are deeply grateful for the expertise, time and commitment they contribute in support of our mission.
