Thinking about getting involved but not sure where to start?
You’ve come to the right place.
A number of volunteer roles are available, offering you the flexibility to fit your needs and availability. Some positions come with one hour or less of commitment per week, and some are remote roles that can primarily be carried out via web or phone.
Plug into IABC Saskatoon by taking on a small job, or serve as a portfolio manager (non-members welcome!), or as a director on the board member.
What to expect when you volunteer for the board:
- Monthly one hour meetings with a glass of wine or pop, chatting, and taking care of business too!
- Opportunity to apply for awards through IABC’s Chapter Management Awards program. This looks great on LinkedIn!
- Attend the annual Dare to Lead Conference in support of growing you as a communications leader and board member. (Road trip anyone?)
- Volunteer appreciation – yes, gift cards are on the line!
- Networking opportunities with some of Western Canada’s top communicators.
- For the CMP or SCMP members out there – you’ll earn up to 10 maintenance points for volunteering.
