Volunteer
Coordinator Needed
by
Lana Walker-Helmuth
The usual scenario: Joe, a new member, wants to help out in the chapter. He asks the person next to him what he can do. "Oh, we have lots of things," says Pam. "You could help with programs or employment. Or maybe the newsletter. And we have a Web site. Just ask one of those people."
Trouble is, Joe has no idea who "those people" are.
Wouldn’t it be nice if Pam could send Joe to see a volunteer coordinator?
The council is looking for someone to be the contact person for those wanting to volunteer. The volunteer coordinator will simply make sure that volunteers are able to find the people they need to talk to. The coordinator should also understand the volunteer needs in each area (newsletter, programs, employment, and so forth).
If you’re interested, please contact Walter Hanig at wdhanig@alumni.rice.edu.
