VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!!

It’s the beginning of a new year....that time of year when many of us are considering what new roles we want to take on in 2022, what professional and personal goals we will set, and what activities we will give so much of our valuable time to.

Many of our members (or future members) probably volunteer in some capacity with one or more professional organizations, office committees, community groups, school organizations, sports teams, religious groups, and many others.   

SWEP is a volunteer-run organization and depends upon our volunteers to provide our quality programs, technical and social events, scholarships and grants, and general operations.   For a number of reasons, we have a number of vacant positions and upcoming vacancies in mid-2022 and 2023. 

Please consider becoming a Director, Executive officer or Committee volunteer!  

If you are interested in volunteering, please reach out to one of our Executives (https://www.swepweb.com/page-1680611) or to me directly. 

Sincerely,

Rebecca Buchanan

SWEP Greater Philadelphia- Chair
