MISSION

The Marketing & Communications Committee aims to expand the reach of the chapter by telling resonant stories about the chapter: who we are, what we’re doing and how people can get involved. If you are someone who is comms or tech savvy with social media, graphics, art and design or have no experience at all, but willing to learn, please join our committee by filling out our interest form.
