Note: We are currently looking for a program chair. If you are interested in helping us, please use the contact email below. Mark subject as “Join Officer Team.” A brief description of each position follows.
Program Chair:
The program chair helps to plan the Chapter’s monthly meetings and events throughout the year, and coordinates guest speakers and other similar logistical things.
The Chapter’s Officer corps works closely with the program chair to help make our events happen—the program chair is not solely responsible for running events.
