As in most things in life, the more you give the more you get. We find that our members get more out of their WISE membership by volunteering their time and expertise on one of our committees.
Please read through the descriptions and see how you would like to participate. Chapters We have a great deal of interest from women in other parts of the country in starting up or supporting an existing chapter. This committee helps provide the tools, infrastructure and ongoing help to run chapters across the nation. Contact:Robin Waxenberg and Paula Grooms. Job Bank One of the benefits of membership is private access to an on line job bank. We are looking for people who would be interested in working with companies to solicit job listings for our members. Contact:Amanda Mitchell. Membership The more members we have, the more robust our organization becomes, and the more valuable it is for all of us. If you are interested in developing and putting into place a marketing plan to build awareness and drive membership among our target audiences, we need you now! Contact:Jennifer O'Sullivan. Mentor Program WISE Within brings mentees and mentors from the WISE membership together in a structured initiative to provide career resource connections. Contact/Program Information Newsletter WISE members receive a quarterly newsletter that features information about other members, industry analysis, information about past and upcoming events, career tips and so on. If you would like to help report, write, edit, photograph, etc. this is the place for you. Contact:Erica Nelson. Programming The events we offer our members to learn and connect is what WISE is all about. This group helps develop a year-round schedule of nearly monthly events, ranging from industry-related panel discussions and career-focused sessions to networking events and group outings. We need people with good ideas and the skills and enthusiasm to make those ideas come to life. Contact:Van Adams. Public Relations For WISE to achieve its mission and really help promote women in the sports/event industries, we need to be "tooting our horn" a lot more. If you have expertise in the world of publicity and media relations or would like to "learn on the job" and learn from others, we would love your support in this area. Contact:info@wiseworks.org. Sponsorship Our sponsors are the lifeblood of our organization. Each year, there is a tremendous effort to reach out to potential sponsors with creative packages that deliver value to them. If you have expertise in the sponsorship development and sales area and an attractive rolodex, or would like to hone your skills, this is a good committee for you. Contact:Sue Rodin. Volunteers Every one of our events requires a hard working team of wonderful women to help coordinate activities. From meeting and greeting industry superstars, to stuffing goody bags, it is always a great opportunity to network and have a fun time. Contact:info@wiseworks.org. |
