Committees
TIMA's
value as a professional organization lies in the interaction between
its members. To get the greatest value out of your membership, join
a committee and help manage and set direction for the organization.
Volunteering for TIMA gives you opportunities above and beyond the benefits
of going to meetings. By giving a small portion of your time each month,
you can make the most of your membership and:
•
Meet more of your peers in the interactive media world.
• Help TIMA
set its direction and fulfill its potential as a
professional organization.
• Gain experience
with planning, coordinating and implementing
programs.
• Make connections
to the decision makers and doers in interactive
media.
• Position
yourself to join the Board of Directors and really make a
difference.
If
you choose to join a committee and volunteer for TIMA, you will be given
the tools and autonomy to ensure the tasks you've been assigned are
completed in a satisfactory manner. If you are unable to complete a
task you have assumed, you are responsible for finding a substitute
to fulfill those duties.
To help
out, please contact Brian Rudolph.
