Are you thinking about becoming more involved
in AMWA? To maintain an active, vibrant chapter, we rely on our members
to volunteer to serve in leadership positions. We have openings
on our Board of Directors and hope you will consider volunteering.
Currently we need regional
event coordinators for Silver Spring/Bethesda and Southeast Virginia.
More details are available here.
What's in it for you? Each position offers opportunities
for career, professional, and personal growth, for example, as a
Chapter leader you can:
• Become more visible among your peers and potential clients/employers.
• Build a network of professional contacts who can refer business
to you or recommend you for a position.
• Learn new skills or hone your current skills.
• Make new friends.
Is prior experience needed? No, just willingness and enthusiasm.
All of these open positions come with advice and support from other
board members, from retiring members who can (and are happy to!)
answer questions and provide guidance, and from AMWA national resources
such as the Chapter Conference Handbook.
The Board meets several
times a year via conference call. That means you can participate
no matter where you live in the region. Board members also periodically
use e-mail to share and discuss relevant information.
If you think you might be interested in volunteering, please
contact Debbie Luyo or Cynthia Haggard for more details. We will be happy to answer any questions,
and we look forward to hearing from you!
Regional Event Coordinator: The Coordinator organizes informal get-togethers
with colleagues who work or live nearby. This is a fun way to get
involved! |
