Would You Like to Get More Involved with the Alumni Club?
We're looking for a few good volunteers for Web Site Manager. Networking/Happy Hour Coordinators and Class Captains. See a brief description of each position below. If you're interested or would like more information, please send me an email -
Dan McLean, President Ross Bay Area djmclean@umich.edu
Volunteer Position Descriptions:
Web Site Manager:
You don't have to be an HTML whiz to manage the Club's website. Our web site host has provided us with a slick set of web site management tools that run right in your browser. All you need is the desire to help, a self starter attitude, and an eye for good page layout.
The position entails posting new events; updating site content as needed; sending (but not actually writing) email content through our email broadcast tool; completing other site administrative tasks. You need to be able to devote a minimum 10 hours per month to this effort and commit to a 24 month term.
Networking/Happy Hour Event Coordinators:
Do you like to plan events? If so, this position is for you.
We're looking for 4-6 people to help us out with setting up our regular Networking/Happy Hour Events. We hold 8-10 networking happy hours per year with the location alternating between San Francisco metro and the Peninsula. One Coordinator would be designated Coordinator captain and be responsible for managing the group.
This is a really easy job; all you need to do is arrange the event details with the event venue, ensure any contractural paperwork is authorized and signed by the appropriate Board Member and returned to the venue; write the event announcement copy and forward this to the Web Site Manager for posting; monitor event sign-up on our web site; set up and man the event sign-in station; and (naturally) attend the event itself.
These events would happen during the week (Tues. - Thurs.) between 6PM and 9PM. Each event requires approximately 2 hours of prep/planning in addition to the time spent at the event itself. Since we've already established relationships with a number of great venues throughout the Bay Area, its really easy to copy/paste what we've done in the past. We expect a 24 month committment which means you would be expected to coordinate a total of 4-6 events. How easy is that?
Class Captains:
We're looking for volunteers who will help us get the word out to our local Alums. While we use an email marketing system to send out event announcements and other Club news, receiving an event invite from someone from your class often has a rgeater impact than the standard email newsletter.
Class Captains would be responsible for sending a personal note regarding each event to their Bay Area classmates. The Club will provide you with a list of your local classmates (with email addresses) but you may also have additional contact names or conecctions through LinkedIn, Facebook, Plaxo or other social networking tools.
