Seeking Volunteers

Please consider joining our team of great volunteer Committee members. Chapter Officers must be Chapter Members - but we reimburse the cost of membership for Officers !

If you nominate yourself for Officer, we will contact you and ask for a short bio that we can post online. If you know someone who would be perfect for one of these roles, please contact them directly and encourage them to nominate themselves.

Not ready to be an Officer, but want to get involved ? We always need volunteers to help with various special projects throughout the year. You can use the form to let us know you’re interested, and we’ll contact you to see how you’d like to help !
