Special Interest Groups

The Southeast ACSM chapter has several Special Interest Groups (SIGs) that provide an opportunity for professional and student members to share, learn, and connect with members with similar interests.

Most interest groups hold a yearly meeting in conjunction with the SEACSM Annual Meeting, some hold regular virtual meetings and webinars, and others provide scholarship opportunities for students.

Special Interest Groups are free to join for SEACSM members, including students. 

You can learn more about the SEACSM SIGs and how to join by contacting their leaders.
