Calling All Volunteers!

We have no shortage of initiatives at PAMA as we work to be that one invaluable resource to you for assuring your career growth, ongoing development and excellence.  All of these great initiatives require great volunteers to get the job done.  We’re lucky to have a committed and dedicated group of professionals who volunteer their time on various committees to support the group’s mission of providing marketing thought leadership, skills enhancement, best practices and valuable networking.

What you may not know is that this great group of volunteers is made up of people in the Greater Philadelphia area who are just like you.  Everyone is juggling professional and personal day-to-day tasks and routines.  Everyone is busy.  But all of these folks know that volunteering is a great way to build their skills, try some new things without the pressures of their job, rub elbows and break bread with other marketers and make an impact to push some of their own ideas forward.

What is your commitment?

  • Support and share ownership of initiatives for which you volunteer. (For example, after working on a Programming committee event of interest, you are expected to attend the event.  Lead volunteers attend their programs without charge.)
  • A time commitment of 1-5 hours per week (on average) depending on the committee and task you choose.
  • Represent PAMA professionally and responsibly.
  • Recognize that we’re ALL volunteers – some with more time than others, some with more experience than others.
  • Respect your fellow volunteers and members.
  • To be, or plan to become, a PAMA member. (This is a soft commitment, enforced only after you’ve recognized some of the benefits of volunteering and chapter membership).

What is in it for you?

  • Programming Volunteer: Help envision, define, develop and then attend a wide range of events for your peers in Marketing on topics of interest to you.  Networking opportunities abound with renowned speakers, regional Marketing executives, authors, experts, program faculty, publishers and fellow members.
  • Sponsorship or Membership Volunteer: Enjoy direct interaction with leading and emerging companies’ executives (at all levels) and parlay these contacts into networking relationships, sponsorship deals and referral sources.
  • Communications Volunteer: Build your portfolio with promotional pieces and educational articles that inform, spark interest and motivate people to action.  It’s also a great opportunity to work with both new technologies and to liaise with every other PAMA committee.
  • Technology Volunteer: Sharpen your skills as a leading-edge Marketer working with online media (such as LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook) and the newest properties, platforms and channels. Take a leadership role in adding emerging technologies to the PAMA portfolio (complete with ‘try before you buy’ knowledge development).
  • Volunteer Committee Volunteer: In addition to the active networking, as you proactively engage with members and non-members to become volunteers, you’ll build your network around the region while gaining great insight into the overall operations of each committee.

We are proud that the success PAMA continues to have is a direct result of high quality volunteers.  We look forward to learning what we can do together.  If you are interested in participating as a volunteer for the organization and pushing your skills as a marketer beyond expectations, please fill out the form or email to learn more.
