AMA Volunteer Helping Check In 2021 Cropped Attendees
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

The best part of volunteering for our Programming committee is all the people you get to meet!
