Volunteers make it possible for NIRI Chicago to offer outstanding programs, valuable peer-to-peer conversations – and fun social events, too. Your commitment can be just a few hours every now and then, or you may choose to take on a larger project for professional development or to showcase your abilities to management and peers alike. To volunteer, please contact [email protected] and/or the chair of one of the committees listed below. We value your participation.
2024 Workshop Committee
Our IR Workshop Committee plans our full-day flagship event, from identifying topics for panel and interactive discussions to recruiting insightful speakers who bring those topics to life. Committee participation also is a great way to get to know other IR officers and give back to your profession. Build your network of thought leaders and fellow IR officers! Contact [email protected].
Communications
Projects may include writing event summaries, case studies, news releases and copy for the Member Connection monthly e-newsletter. Contact Chair Maryellen Thielen at (773) 677-0646 or [email protected].
