Get Involved. Have Your Say. Make A Difference. Join Our Crew!
Unlike other organizations in the area, AAF-Akron is completely supported by volunteers. We rely on the talents and resources of our membership to prosper. And, it’s a win-win situation for all! Our committees provide leadership opportunities and the chance to learn new skills and meet and share ideas with professionals in related fields.
We’re not asking for a lot of time, just a commitment to the overall mission of AAF-Akron, whether it be through planning events or ADDY competition, driving membership or communicating our message. In fact, if every member could volunteer one hour a week, it would greatly decrease the time commitment for everyone involved.
Here's how you benefit
Resume Builder - Make professional and personal connections for life.
Build Relationships - Build relationships that can move your career forward.
Professional Development - Opportunity to learn. You do things you might not have otherwise tried. Your confidence builds, you get a big head. Soon you’re unstoppable.
