Your Next Volunteer Position: Navigating Your ASME Volunteer Pathway
 
The Program:
Volunteers are essential to ASME’s success. By being a volunteer you can share your skills and expertise in support of ASME’s mission, while also developing strengths that will serve you outside ASME. In this workshop, we will explore different volunteer pathways, including leadership positions in ASME, and help you chart your path forward to your next volunteer position. Seasoned volunteers who have successfully forged a path to leadership roles are encouraged to participate and share their own tips for advancing in ASME and making the most of the volunteer experience.

• Articulate the benefits that can be gained through the experience of serving as an ASME leadership volunteer
• Describe the competencies required to fill leadership roles in ASME
