Two Positions Available!
Become a valuable chapter leader!
|

Volunteer today for the membership co-chair, which presides over the all-important membership committee. The two primary responsibilities of this committee are: new member recruitment and membership retention. As co-chair, you will share responsibilities with another chapter volunteer to maintain all chapter membership records, contact chapter members up for renewal, and lead the charge to grow and strengthen our chapter! The co-chairs need to be highly visible and accessible to answer any membership questions from existing members and potential members. This committee will submit a chapter membership report at each monthly board meeting, and will attend as many chapter meetings and functions as possible to support the committee’s efforts.
