Yes, you are busy. This is a time when communicators across campus are carrying even more heroic workloads than usual. We know.
The economic conditions putting such a strain on our time are the same ones making it so important for campus communicators to broadcast their value to the University and the community.
To continue the Forum's programming and professional development, and also to broaden our impact as communications advocates, we need your help!
In addition to the tingly feeling you get by doing a good thing,
committees provide you with excellent networking opportunities, a
chance to flex new creative muscles and an impressive addition to your
resume.
Which committee is right for you?:
Awards committee: has the authority to put board members in silly costumes at the conference
Conference committee: orchestrating the big show is quite a rush
Marketing and promotions committee: perfect for those thinking about how they would have written this blog post better
Program committee: rub shoulders with the fabulous monthly speakers, get first dibs on the best pre-program snacks
Technology committee: help make umcf.umn.edu the site that every forum member has bookmarked
Our volunteering page has actual descriptions about what committee members do and how to get started. Join today!
And speaking strictly for the programs committee, may I add: "Have lunch once a month with a bunch of fun people". Planning programs happens over lunch. Bring your brown bag and good ideas.
