Whether you want to volunteer an hour a year or an hour a week, your commitment is the driving force of the NJ/IABC. Email your availability to our Volunteer Chair.

"I offered my help and got support."

Volunteers Get More Value: It's easy to volunteer! From an hour or so here and there to a more involved position on a Committee or the Board, your commitment has rewards!
TIME	One of the biggest challenges facing each of us today is how to find the time for the things we really want or need to do. NJ/IABC makes it easy to do your part! Volunteer positions can be as little as an hour or two once a year to as much as an hour or two a week - it's up to you.
BENEFITS	Whether you want to enhance your skills, teach others what you know, experience a realm of communications in which you don't normally participate, or create a strong network of professionals - volunteering is the best way to raise your knowledge and visibility.
LEVELS	Judging - Our New Jersey Chapter has reciprical arrangements with other chapters across the nation to judge their contests (similar to our IRIS Awards). Your involvement is quick, but much appreciated. And, you'll get a snapshot of what communicators in other parts of the country are doing! Programming - Not only are we looking for your ideas for future programs, you can also help coordinate a single event or a series of events. Whether you are an expert in event planning, or have never done it before, volunteering with programming is a great experience. More details on Programming Volunteer positions. Speaking - Whether you are a professional presenter or an individual looking to develop presentation skill, the NJ/IABC is your opportunity to bring communications content to the spotlight. Present your ideas to the Programming Chair for consideration by the Board. IRIS Awards - Our main event of the year, the IRIS Awards competition involves many small, and some not so small, components. From Call for Entries to distribution to other chapters for judging, notification of winners and coordination of awards - not to mention the gala itself, IRIS offers so many opportunities to participate. Communications - There's always room for writers! Before an event and after an event, we need people writing press releases, brocures, or Web content. So why not express yourself and show off your capabilities at the same time by writing for the NJ/IABC. Serve on the Board - This level of commitment and dedication is both appreciated - and available! With high visibility to over 300 communicators in the NJ area, you have a real opportunity to demonstrate your capabilities and develop leadership and relationships. Contact our Volunteer Chair to learn more!
