VOLUNTEER PANACHE REMINDER

As a volunteer run organization, your efforts matter!

Whether you want to greet people as they enter or follow up with them to get their first impressions (membership committee), seek out community involvement opportunities (promotion), create "meme's" that only our members would "get" (promotion) or share industry articles of interest (technology), or review grant requests (philanthropy) your time and talents will not be wasted!
