VOLUNTEER POSITIONS
Please consider volunteering for one of these important club positions. Contact the Club President if you are interested.
The Marketing and Social Media Committee needs members and a Chairperson. This is a new-ish committee in place of the previous single PR VP. The chair will be coordinating advertisements, Social Media accounts and posts, and any other marketing or PR that the club may need. We have minimal presence on social media currently and would love to expand to get more community involvement.
The Service Projects Committee needs members and a Chairperson. This committee is newly named, but existed in pieces before. The chairperson will track and manage the various routine and one-off service projects such as maintaining the Library planters, helping maintain the Bowie Pantry Garden and providing subject matter expertise to local individuals or businesses that want to improve their greenspace.
