The project team is a group of members dedicated to overseeing AVEN's many efforts to bring education and visibility to the outside world.

Purpose of the Project Team

The Project Team (PT) consists of five members dedicated to promoting asexual visibility and education who are elected annually by members of AVEN. The PT has four primary functions.

1) To work with and to provide help to people working on vis/ed projects.

2) To create resources that will be of value to the asexual community, to people wanting to know more about asexuality, and to people working on asexuality-related projects. This includes, but is not limited to, AVENues, Asexual Perspectives, Post of the Week, and working on AVEN’s wiki.

3) To moderate the Visibility and Education Projects forum.

4) To be leaders in asexual visibility and education work.

The PT is not the only group on AVEN working on visibility and education projects. Bringing Asexy Back is a group devoted to outreach to the LGBT community. AVEN’s media teams lead work in coordinating with the media in their respective areas. Formerly, there the AVEN DSM Taskforce lobbied the DSM-5 Sexual Dysfunctions Subworkgroup to try to make Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder more asexual friendly in DSM-5.
