Volunteer Opportunity: VOBB Coordination

The ASME Volunteer Orientation Leadership and Training (VOLT) Academy is looking for two early career engineers interested in joining a team to coordinate the development of the Volunteer Opportunity Bulletin Board (VOBB). The time commitment is a few hours a week. The VOBB is a job board that hosts all committee position openings for ASME members to apply. You can check the website at www.volunteer.asme.org. Please let Ramin (raminws43@hotmail.com) know if you're interested in the position.

Volunteer Opportunity: ECE Surveys

The Services Sector of ASME has requested our help in completing one of their duties from the Early Career Initiative Report. They are looking for YECs who are willing to make at least five phone calls to other Early Career Engineers in your area and your industry. A script for the call and the survey questions will be provided by Services (see the YEC COP http://cop.asme.org/COP/YECorrespondent/ for draft versions in the community's resources). Services will also provide a list of ECEs to call, and they ask that calls be made between 6:00 and 9:30 in the evening.

Aside from helping ASME improve its offerings to early career engineers, what's in it for you? Well, you will be put in touch with engineers working in the same industry and live in your area, allowing you to make connections with these other engineers and develop your network. You will also have the opportunity to learn from other engineers, finding out about their interests and gaining different perspectives for the profession. If you are willing to support this effort by making at least five calls, please send Kalan a message, or email him at guileyk@asme.org. Please include the industry you work in, and where you live. If interested, please respond by May 15th. Thanks!!
