MEMBER VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
HOSPITALITY: We seek a chapter member to be responsible for light refreshments for meetings at Connecticut College and for meetings at other locations which include a social component such as our Annual Members Meeting (and holiday potluck). To learn more or volunteer, contact [email protected].
VOLUNTEER & OUTREACH COORDINATOR: We seek a chapter member to be the “keeper” of Wild Ones display materials, to manage our supply of brochures and handouts and to help sign up volunteers to staff tables at events hosted by other organizations, such as Earth Day/sustainability fairs, nature-themed festivals, Plant Science Day and more. To learn more or volunteer, contact [email protected].
COMMUNICATIONS: We seek one or two volunteers to manage our Mailchimp communication platform. The chapter has historically used a free Mailchimp account to share program announcements and other news with both members and subscribers (members and non-members). Upgrading our account to increase capacity and enable multiple administrators is under discussion. This would facilitate sharing the responsibility for vacation coverage and lessen the burden of ongoing management. Routine tasks would include composing and sending monthly chapter emails based on provided content, sending standard letters to welcome new members and thank renewing members, maintaining the contact list with subscriber requests and sign-ups collected at Wild Ones events, archiving contact lists to the shared G-Drive, and troubleshooting problems.
