Volunteer!

---

This is an optimum time to re-evaluate FFREIA. We do this to better be prepared for the future in terms of our organization’s goals and objectives and to make sure that they mirror our member’s goals and objectives. We need to take the temperature of FFREIA periodically and make sure it retains its vitality and health for the exciting opportunities and challenges we investors will be confronted with in the next few years. We must all be aware that we all have a stake in the success of this organization, and to that end we must all attempt to share in helping FFREIA to achieve that success.

We listen to our members and appreciate the valuable feedback that we have received recently. In response to that feedback the board has decided on a strategic restructuring of FFREIA to better fulfill our objectives in serving its membership and nurturing its growth. But we need your help!

The tasks we need to perform are many and the volunteers are few. We have compiled a series of these tasks which are open for members who feel they can commit (on a part time basis) to a leadership position to manage and be part of the greater FFREIA team. We hope that the response to this email is robust. We have a few volunteers who have already stepped forward but not nearly enough. Once we have enough interested volunteers we will have a meeting with them to further plan our efforts.

OUR GREATEST NEEDS:

– Social Media

Volunteers to manage FFREIA sites (LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Meet-up).

– Contact Managers

That can commit to a few hours per month contacting active FFREIA members.

Identify and brainstorm a new and improved vendor program.
Market potential vendors and gather applications.
