How to Volunteer
“We make a living by what we do.
– Winston Churchill
We make a life by what we give.”
Of the many ways to give back, volunteering is one of the most profound. Giving your time and knowledge is invaluable, which is one of the reasons ASFPM appreciates their volunteers so much. Volunteering is also a way to enhance your skills, dig deeper into topics of concern, meet others that share your same spirit and passion and even get introduced to your next career move.
We currently have hundreds of volunteers giving their time at ASFPM. From volunteers at conferences, committees, elected and volunteer leadership, our foundation, teaching, writing, or events, our volunteers are there.
Elected or Appointed Volunteer Leadership
Elected Board Officer, Regional Director, or Chapter Director
Responsible for the strategic direction and annual goals and objectives for the organization. Elections happen annually. Contact member services
14 Policy Committees
ASFPM Policy Committees play an important role in helping ASFPM accomplish its mission. There are currently 14 policy committees within ASFPM.
Each committee is led by two co-chairs who are responsible for various tasks, including developing technical solutions, organizing webinars and training sessions, and implementing program activities. These co-chairs depend on a team of active volunteers to help carry out the committee’s annual goals and work plans.
To become an active volunteer, start by joining a committee that aligns with your interests. Then consider offering your assistance with a subcommittee or a specific project. This involvement allows you to understand the committee’s work and make meaningful contributions. Over time, you may wish to take on a leadership role within the committee.
Join a committee today and take the first step toward making a significant impact with ASFPM!
