Volunteering for SIOP Is a Win-Win!
Member volunteers are the lifeblood of SIOP, advancing the organization’s mission through engagement in projects and initiatives as directed by the Executive Board and in partnership with the Administrative Office staff.
Committee volunteerism is an important way to derive real value from your membership. Why should you consider serving on a SIOP committee?
- You will develop new personal and professional relationships and enrich your knowledge of the profession while collaborating with current and future I-O psychology thought leaders.
- Your volunteer work advances the profession of I-O psychology by raising public awareness of its value to the business community and to the public at large.
- You can assist SIOP in providing even greater value for your fellow members by helping keep their needs in clear focus.
- Working within the committee structure is a great way to develop your leadership skills and train for possible future leadership roles within the organization as well as in your career.
Here is what another SIOP volunteer had to say about volunteering:
Volunteering for SIOP has been fantastic for me. I have met such interesting and fun people. I really feel that I’ve made a contribution to SIOP and helped the brand grow. Volunteering on a committee is an opportunity to give back to a field that has given so much to me personally.
- Pete Rutigliano
