2023-2024 Chapter Liaisons
Each ACYOA Central Council member is assigned as a liaison to a number of ACYOA chapters. The liaison system was created in order to ensure direct and personal communication to chapters by the Central Council. The liaison is a chapter's point person and it is the responsibility of the liaison to reach out to their respective chapters to make sure that any concerns or questions are addressed. Below you will find your Central Council liaisons and their contact information.
