● Gather member feedback and communicate insights to the leadership team.

● Work with the VP Events to incorporate community-building into events.

● Work with the VP Marketing to maintain member engagement between events.

● Explore initiatives such as member spotlights, small-group gatherings, mentorship opportunities, networking activities, or community socials.

● Help foster an inclusive environment where members from different backgrounds and career stages feel welcome.

● Monitor community sentiment and proactively identify opportunities or concerns.

Ideal Candidate:

● Naturally people-oriented and enjoys connecting others.

● Empathetic, approachable, and a strong listener.

● Passionate about building inclusive communities.

● Creative and willing to experiment with new engagement ideas.

● Strong interpersonal and communication skills.

● Experience in community building, student organizations, events, mentorship, or member engagement is an asset.

Success Looks Like:

● Members feel welcomed, connected, and valued.

● New members have clear opportunities to get involved.

● Members continue engaging with YWiB between major events.

● Community feedback is actively incorporated into programming and initiatives.

● YWiB develops a genuine sense of belonging rather than simply an event-attendee
