We need your help to plan a fantastic slate of Professional Development (PD) events for 2017. In order to create relevant, convenient, and engaging opportunities for you, please complete our PD Events survey by January 10, 2017.
We are also seeking additional volunteers in several areas:
2017 COMPES Professional Development Conference
-- Speaker Coordination. Help select and schedule speakers* for the conference sessions. As the date approaches, we will need someone to assist with any travel arrangements for major speakers.
-- Advertising Lead. Get the word out about our conference!
-- Fundraising. Secure sponsors and manage their involvement in the conference. We specifically need someone to handle in-kind donations (i.e., goods and services).
-- Registration/Logistics. Assist with preparation of registration packets and managing the check-in table on the day of the conference. Opportunity for ongoing or day-of assistance.
If you are interested in speaking at the conference or another event, or have a great speaker suggestion, please let us know!
PD Events (ongoing)
-- Event Coordinators. We need general volunteers to help plan events** and assist with event logistics, including upcoming facility tours and our spring golf outing. Opportunity for ongoing or day-of assistance.
-- Mentorship Committee. We need members to assist in developing a new mentorship program within SWE Detroit. Join the committee and be a part of starting something great. Opportunity for remote participation.
If your company would be willing to host a PD event or tour, please let us know!
These are all great ways to get involved with SWE Detroit, as you will benefit from the support of other members of the COMPES PDC and SWE PD teams. Contact Ashley Lesser <ashley.prescott@gmail.com> to express your interest.
If you're not sure how you'd like to get involved, please reach out and we'll help you find the opportunity that best matches your interests and availability!
