The Los Angeles Chapter is run entirely by volunteers, and the more people that help, the better our programming and richer the member experience. There are many benefits to volunteering – developing deeper relationships with peers, staying in the game while in transition, gaining experience or skills outside of your career specialty.
Here is our Volunteer List, as of November 2014.
