We’ve included a brief description of our committees and some of the common volunteer opportunities within them below.

Volunteers can commit to as much or as little of their time as they’d like and there are opportunities for every skill level. Please let us know if you’d like to help!

Please Note: Volunteers are often first on the list for nominations to our chapter’s award-winning board of directors. If you’re interested in serving on the board, these volunteer opportunities are a great place to start!

Programming

Our programming committee is the team that handles our busy calendar of events. We can always use more volunteers that can help us behind the scenes as we educate and entertain Lincoln’s marketers. These opportunities are perfect for people who want to volunteer just one or two times per year as well as those that would like to commit to a more consistent volunteering role. The best part of volunteering for our Programming committee is all the people you get to meet!

Common volunteer opportunities include:

  • Event setup and/or tear-down
  • Greeting guests at events
  • Signing in guests at events
  • AV assistance
  • Scheduling/logistics assistance

Communications

Our communications committee is responsible for informing and interacting with our members and the local marketing community. Volunteer roles on the communications committee are perfect for people who would like a consistent presence on the AMA-Lincoln team. These roles are perfect for people who want to give their resume a boost, improve their marketing skills, or exercise their skills in a more flexible environment without the constraints of a typical job.

Common volunteer opportunities include:

  • Social media management
  • Website management (coding skills not required)
  • Eventbrite management
  • Graphic design
  • Copywriting
  • Digital advertising
  • Photography

Membership

The membership committee works to engage current members and communicate the value of AMA membership to marketers in our area. Membership volunteer roles are best for outgoing people who love to help others. These opportunities allow you to flex your recruiting muscles, facilitate meaningful conversations during our events, and help us provide as much value as possible to our members.

Common volunteer opportunities include:

  • Lead networking conversations and make introductions at events
  • Following up with event guests to thank them for attending and explore interest in membership
  • Assist in recruiting new members

  • Work with new members to ensure they’re receiving as much value from membership as possible

Sponsorship

The sponsorship committee helps our chapter secure the resources we need to successfully carry out our mission. Sponsorship volunteers assist our board members in acquiring new sponsorships, managing those engagements, and ensuring that we deliver the value promised in exchange for their contribution.

Common volunteer opportunities include:

  • Helping with administrative tasks such as sending invoices
  • Working with the board and sponsors to ensure that each sponsor receives promised deliverables
  • Picking up and/or storing in-kind gifts as necessary
  • Assisting in reaching out to potential and former sponsors

Prisms

The Prisms committee is responsible for pulling off AMA-Lincoln’s biggest annual event. These volunteer opportunities are incredibly fun and rewarding. They’re great for volunteers who want to make a big impact without committing to a long-term role.

Common volunteer opportunities include:

  • AV assistance
  • Event photography
  • Event videography
  • Helping to coordinate with award judges
