Greetings Nabs,

Now that you all have had some time to rest up from convention, enjoy your summer, and are eagerly anticipating what is sure to be one of the best school years to date as well as an exciting year for NABS, I am writing to inform you that we could very much use your help. Many of the functions performed by NABS are carried out via committees which we are recruiting committed, enthusiastic individuals to serve on. Below I have included a brief description of the responsibilities of each committee as well as the person whom you should contact should you so desire to serve on the committee.

 

1.       Membership

Responsibilities:

*         Run membership calls.

*         Spearhead outreach and recruitment with new and potential members.

*         Work with website team on issues related to membership database.

*         Serve as lead on projects aimed at expanding membership such as
training center letters project.

Chair Person: Candice Chapman

2. Fund Raising

Responsibilities:

*         Plan and implement the Washington Seminar Auction and Monte Carlo Night at National Convention.  The ideal candidate is someone who will be in attendance in one or both of these events.  While this is certainly not a prerequisite, it would be helpful.

*         Recruit and Train fundraisers from state student divisions to pursue small corporate donations.  We are looking for people that have an interest in learning how to fundraise and those who are already strong fundraisers.  The most important requirement is a desire to get involved and make a difference.
