ATD Central Iowa - Join a Committee

Committees

We are always looking for volunteers to join a committee or assist with many one-time opportunities to get involved. We offer many opportunities to volunteer, from being a greeter at an event, to hosting a special interest group, or even hosting an event. Many of these events require a small time commitment.

You may contact the VPs listed below for more information about their committees or inquire about how to get involved, or if you are unsure of where to start, contact the VP Members and Ambassadors for assistance. By being an active board committee member you can earn free attendance to 3 education events (PDD not included, unless you are active on a PDD committee). Being active is defined as attending committee meetings and participating in projects and discussions.
