As John Heywood said, “Many hands make light work.”

I need your help to make 2008 the most successful year ever!

Sub-committee volunteers:

• Time Commitment:Determined by your availability & interest (Volunteers choose which tasks they would like to take responsibility for)
  
  
• Role: Your choice, based on need and strategic fit
  
  
• Recognition: Will be recognized on the WICT New England Website & at the planned event
  
  
• Tracking: Participation will be tracked by the Board Secretary & Director for the purpose of tracking member involvement levels & to aid in recognition of participants

We’re in the process of doing some preliminary planning and creation of sub-committees to work on the following:

• Professional Development Programming: Work will take place throughout the year but, you don’t have to commit to a whole year’s worth of work…whatever fits your schedule.
  
  
• Mentoring Program: The majority of the work will take place in the spring. There will be a small amount of work in October.
  
  
• Awards/Nominations: The majority of the work will take place in the fall (Sept. through Nov). The event is currently expected to take place Nov. 8, 2007.
  
  
• Awards Dinner: Planning will take place throughout the year, the event is currently expected to take place Oct. 30, 2008.
  
  
• Advocacy Programming: Initial planning will take place in the beginning of the year. Advocacy events other than NECTA are yet to be determined for 2008.
  
  
• NECTA Panel: Initial planning will take place in the beginning of the year, but the majority of the work for this event will take place during May – early July. The NECTA conference takes place in RI in mid July. Managers, Directors & VP’s are strongly encouraged to take part in the planning of this event.
  
  
• Marketing Sub-Committees: Marketing work needs to be done throughout the year. We’re looking for folks that have the ability to strategically create marketing programs that will aid in the awareness & participation of programs & events. We will also need individuals who have access and experience to create jpeg documents and have access to graphic designs – photoshop, etc.
