FROM YOUR PBA BOARD OF DIRECTORS
|
 Know any good programmers?(no, not THAT kind of programmer)
The work of the PBA is accomplished through the dedication and hard work of committees formed to manage different projects throughout the year. As with all volunteer organizations, our success depends largely on the willingness of our membership to participate on these committees and make things happen.
The Programs Committee could use your help! They are specifically looking for people with good organization and event coordination skills that can pull it all together to manage successful, informative, useful and fun activities for our membership.
Here's the "Official Description" of the Programs Committee:
"Develops plans for workshops, networking events, and major events throughout the year - including the assignment of subcommittees as needed. Prepares yearly calendar, identifies and arranges speakers and host venues, coordinates refreshments/meals, writes promotional material for website, media and newsletters, solicits and coordinates sponsorships and registration, follows-up with speakers and venues after the events."
If this sounds like you and you would like to volunteer to work on the Programs committee to share your time and talent with your community, contact us and we will connect you with the Committee Chair.
