| Serving on a Committee |
 |
The people that serve on the committees of ALPFA Chicago are the means with which we provide high-quality programs and events to our members. Each committee has defined responsibilties to plan, organize, and execute certain events, programs, and communications that support the mission of ALPFA.
Service on an ALPFA Chicago committee is a volunteer role that you can gain through appointment by a committee chairperson. Serving on a committee is also an enriching experience in that it allows you to develop leadership, team-building, and project management skills.
To be considered for a committee, you must be a member of ALPFA in good standing and dedicated to the vision and mision of ALPFA. |
