Special Interest Groups

The ACCS-VA Special Interest Groups offer an opportunity to connect, collaborate, and communicate with those individuals across the Commonwealth of Virginia working in the same field of expertise. In addition to these online forums, the SIGs also have a special session annually during the ACCS-VA annual conference.
