Volunteer

Did you know that your Chapter is 100% volunteer run, including Board members?  Without our volunteers, our chapter could not survive or keep costs low as an organization.  There are many ways to contribute to IIBA as a volunteer and advance your career. Opportunities encompass a wide range of interests, skills and goals, so find the opportunity that’s right for you.  Most volunteer opportunities count toward IIBA certification and re-certification.

Through your local IIBA Chapter, members meet their peers, make new contacts, network, build knowledge, share solutions and ideas, and enjoy activities and events. Volunteer positions with our local chapter range from formal positions - such as President,  Vice President of Membership, Vice President of Professional Development, Treasurer, Vice President of Sponsorship and Vice President of Technology - to less formal positions assisting with various events, chapter programs and committees.

These positions offer an exceptional opportunity to build your leadership skills.

Active Global IIBA and IIBA MSP Chapter status is required to serve in any of these roles.  Each volunteer will be expected to review and sign our chapter's Non-Disclosure Agreement. 

With all roles, including board member positions, each person earns CDU's for certification applications or renewal applications.  It is the responsibility of each volunteer to keep track of hours spent and to upload those hours to iiba.org, noting the point of contact for verification of those hours.
