Considering getting involved? Great! You've made the first step. Now you should decide how you would like to be involved and what you would like to help with.
Every volunteer brings something different to NAAAP-SF. We also recognize that people have different amounts of time they can spend volunteering and can add value in many different ways.
Functional Roles
NAAAP-SF doesn't run itself. Our officers and directors do what is needed to manage logistics, our website, our public relations, our finances and our membership. If you have skills/expertise which you would like to contribute, or if you are looking for a way to develop new skills and gain relevant work experience in an area, we would love to hear from you.
Functional areas you could help with include:
- Marketing
- Sponsorship
- Public relations
- Website/Technology
- Growing membership
- Co-coordinating volunteers services
Event specific roles
We also provide our members with a supported way to get involved in the organization of events. You can be involved at several levels:
Chair or co-chair an event - Events don't organize themselves. Someone has spent time to develop the concept, find the speakers, organize the venue, market the event, organize logistics, coordinate the committee of people helping out, and ensure it all runs smoothly on the night. Could that person be you? Chairing or co-chairing an event is a great way to pursue a passion, gain relevant experience and have a impact. However, depending on the size of the event, it can also take time, dedication and involves taking a responsibility.
Involvement in an event committee - For those with less time but high levels of interest, we also welcome members to get involved as part of an event committee. You could be helping out with pre-event planning, pre-event logistics, or with the on-the-night running of the event. Alternatively, you might bring your contact list to the group, or help market the events to your network. Working with an event chair, and as part of a team of volunteers, is a great, low key way to get involved, develop expertise and skills, and make a difference.
We have many exciting events planned this year across a number of areas. If you are interested in getting involved with event planning, think about where your interests lie, and let us know. General categories of events include:
- Professional development events (e.g. leadership forums, career advice, mentorship, etc)
- Entrepreneurship events
- Community based events
- Events to promote cultural awareness
- Large signature events (e.g. picnics, galas, etc)
Just want to help out with whatever you can? No problems! We are doing some exciting things and can always use more help. Just reach out and we'll let you know how you can help.
Please contact Derek Choy, Vice President of Public Relations and Volunteer Services and let us know what you are interested in helping out with.
