ADNet Associates are volunteers who work in partnership with ADNet on one or more projects consistent with ADNet’s mission.

The chosen project normally involves a concentrated period of study and/or outreach around a particular topic or concern, but may evolve into an ongoing ministry of speaking and/or consultation based on expertise or experience.

The Associate program was approved by the Executive Committee of ADNet's Board of Directors at its February 24-25, 2006 meeting in Goshen.  Christine Guth was approved to be the first ADNet Associate working the areas of depression and autism spectrum disorders.

In evaluating the program in October 2007, the Board approved an expansion of the program in two ways:

• Provide for a category of Associates that would essentially make them a part of the ongoing staff of ADNet. Under this category, Christine Guth was named as a Program Associate. 
• Create a Student Associate Program to encourage college and seminary students across the country to pursue one-year projects that would be helpful to both the student's career path as well as ADNet.

Associates at this time are:

• Christine J. Guth, Program Associate

Student Associates for the 2009-10 academic year:

• Vanessa Yoder, Student Associate (Geneva College, Pennsylvania)
• Kathy Dickson, Student Associate (Methodist Theological School, Ohio)
  

Past Associates:

• Devon Lengacher, Student Associate (Eastern Mennonite Seminary).
• Christy Weems, Student Associate (Bethel College, Kansas)
• Rebecca Fast, Learning Disabilities, August 2007-May 2008
