Committee Chairs
There is no better way to extract value from your SMPSNEO membership than to join a committee, get involved and build relationships with chapter leadership. There is no shortage of ways to get involved, whether you have limited time to volunteer or hope to join the Board someday, there is a role that will be a fit for you!
For more information on our committees and how you can get involved, please contact Tamara Zupancic, Chapter President.
"Being involved with SMPS has provided many opportunities for my professional growth. I have gained new leadership skills, learned various marketing strategies, and connected with some great people in the industry! I highly recommend volunteering as it will benefit both you and your firm well into the future." - Kristen Joles, Director-At-Large and Communications Co-Chair
