[Communications] Volunteer Interest

[Amy Olson]

Hi Natalia!

Thank you so much for your interest in volunteering! We absolutely have a need for help with communications.

As Sarah mentioned, you’re most welcome to attend our meeting tomorrow evening to get a feel for what the monthly meetings are all about. We have a pretty full agenda, so it would be hard to talk specifically about volunteering with our team.

I’d love to set up a zoom so we could talk more about your interests and can fill you in on what the communications team is all about and answer questions. I worked at Shedd Aquarium for many years as a designer and am also so interested in hearing about your work with aquatic invasive species!

If you’d like, please send a few windows of time you could meet and perhaps some of the other team members would also like to join.

Thanks again,
Amy

On behalf of the CCGA Communications team

I have a lot of experience managing websites and listservs, organizing events and webinars, and creating graphics for events.
