Volunteer OpportunitiesVolunteering with VSAE is a great way to get more involved and give back to your association community. Below is the list of opportunities, contact Terry Monroe with questions about any aspect of volunteering. Current volunteers must re-apply.
Committees & Task Forces Committees are instrumental in important activities like helping plan the educational content for meetings, recruiting new members, and marketing events like the Annual Conference. Committee service is from May 1 - April 30. All committee and task force meetings are virtual (generally 90 minutes or less) unless otherwise stated.
COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMITTEE: Organizes community service and fundraising activities that support Virginia-based charities suggested by the membership. Time commitment: Two (2) meetings per year; participate in charitable activities at Annual and Fall conferences and member luncheons (including the Awards Luncheon).
Other Volunteer OpportunitiesCONTENT LEADER (i.e., SPEAKER): Share your expertise or experiences in association management by presenting at a VSAE event or speaking to a Shared Interest Group (SIG). More information on speaking is available here. NEWSLETTER: Is the written word more your strong suit? Share your expertise or experiences by writing for the Association Press newsletter. Contact Lorraine Meade for content needs and deadlines. SIG LEADER: Shared Interest Groups (SIGs) are a great way to learn from fellow association executives about the issues keeping you up at night. These member-led groups are organized around areas of interest and offer a forum for you to discuss what matters most to you. SIG Leaders are responsible for organizing the meetings and working with staff on meeting logistics. Time commitment: Four (4) meetings per year. Contact Terry Monroe for more details. NEW MEMBER MENTOR: This program facilitates the integration of new VSAE members into our association community. Mentors reach out to specific new members assigned to them, help them network, shadow them at their first few events, and are a resource as they navigate through their first year with VSAE.
