Looking for a Win-Win? Volunteer for ISPE!

Ask any volunteer why they devote their time and effort to the Chapter and you’re likely to hear, “It’s a win-win.  I get to contribute to the Chapter while getting tons in return.” Learn new skills, meet new friends, make new contacts – these are just some of ways volunteering is a win for Chapter members.

On the flip side, the Chapter could not “win” without its team of volunteers. Currently over 150 Chapter members actively contribute their time, effort and expertise on behalf of the Chapter. From simple tasks like writing a blog post to complex projects like organizing an educational program, volunteering offers many options. But every contribution – no matter how small – helps the Chapter achieve its ongoing success. We simply could not succeed without our volunteers! If you’re one of them, we thank you!

And if you’re not, we invite you to have a look at the list of volunteer opportunities below. Each one will take less than four hours of your time, while making an important contribution to the Chapter. So choose one (or two!) and see for yourself how good it feels to get involved. Have an idea you don’t find on the list? We welcome new options for volunteering. In either case, just contact the Chapter office and let us know how you’d like to help. Thank you! office@ISPEBoston.org or 781-647-4773.
