About the Volunteer Experience
All volunteer positions are designed for professionals with busy lives. Committee members and co-chairs make a 1 year commitment. This role requires a commitment that may range from 1-2 hours a week, and varies at different intervals during the year depending on the activity (i.e. expect higher commitment leading up to Battle of the Brains gala, fiscal quarters and year end). Committee meetings take place outside of normal business hours and can typically be accessed by conference call if necessary. All volunteers have the opportunity to be core to our decision-making process.
