Kid’s Activity Chair
We would like to offer activities for kids from 1:00 – 3:00 pm at the Icebreaker event on January 13, 2018. A volunteer is needed to plan activities, recruit additional volunteers (if needed) and coordinate day-of events. Estimated time commitment: 20 hours between October 2017 and January 2018.
Icebreaker Committee Chair
This volunteer serves as the liaison between the SWTU Board of Directors and the event venue, and is responsible for overall event planning and management. Play a key role in selecting the featured speakers, event activities, and fundraising. You will work with a great team of volunteers that assist with activities and bucket raffles, and receive guidance and support from past committee chairs. Please consider volunteering for this important chapter leadership position! Ideally the new chair would shadow the 2018 event chair and take the lead on the 2019 event. Estimated time commitment: 10 hours between October 2017 and January 2018 and 50 hours between September 2018 and January 2019.
