Volunteer Opportunities with the IIA
Our chapter activities are volunteer-powered! Volunteering is a
great way to contribute to both your personal and chapter’s success - it
connects you to others in your profession, expands your personal network, and
provides development opportunities in skills such as project management and
leadership. Many volunteer positions
only require an hour or two each month, and some can be broken down into
smaller tasks requiring even less! If
you can spare an hour per month, please consider volunteering!
This month we’re spotlighting two opportunities under our Academic
Relations function: University Liaisons and Presentations Judge.
Our VP-Academic Relations has developed an initiative to expand
our outreach to area students. The
University Liaison volunteer role will network with faculty and students at
Houston-area schools to expand our academic initiatives. If you are an alumnus of one of the following
universities and would like to learn more about working with your alma mater,
please contact us!

Baptist University
·
Prairie View A&M University
·

·

approximately 3 hours of time and 4-5 judges are typically needed for
each. Please contact Dr. Michael Newman
